HistoryThe Billboard Creative was founded in Los Angeles, California in 2015 by Adam Santelli, Kim Kerscher and Mona Kuhn. It then began producing art shows by renting out unused billboard space as "art replaces advertising"[1] at some of the busiest intersections throughout Los Angeles, for an entire month, annually. As a nonprofit group, The Billboard Creative has continued to grow by partnering with cultural institutions and distinguished artists. The organization plans to continue providing opportunities for artists to share their work with the broadest audience possible through upcoming special exhibitions, new media projects, and expanding its outdoor art shows to other cities nationwide. 2015 artistsFall curated by Mona Kuhn,[3][4] and included artists Shane Guffogg, Kim McCarty, Jack Pierson, Silvia Poloto, and Ed Ruscha. 2016 artistsCurated by Mona Kuhn,[5] and included artists Paul McCarthy and Alex Prager. 2017 artistsCurated by TBC,[6] and included artists Alex Prager, Jennifer Steinkamp, and Mona Kuhn. 2018 artistsCurated by Andrea Blanch,[7] and included artists Naomi Harris, Marianne Kolb, Steve Miller, Marilyn Minter, Laurie Simmons, Gerald Slota, Spencer Tunick, and Lawrence Weiner.
