Transforming Los Angeles into a Massive Art Installation
What We Do
Based in Los Angeles, The Billboard Creative (TBC) is a nonprofit organization that transforms how art is viewed by offering alternative platforms beyond traditional museums and galleries. Through billboard exhibitions, an artist grant program, and in-depth interviews, TBC provides exposure for artists outside the conventional art scene, breaking down financial barriers typically found in the art market. TBC advocates for the essential role of art in community well-being, turning everyday spaces into public galleries and promoting unrestricted access to art as a fundamental right not a privilege.

Featuring works from a diverse selection of international painters, photographers, sculptors, and mixed-media artists, this year’s exhibition continues TBC’s mission of bringing bold, thought-provoking art to the city’s streets. Stay tuned for more details on locations and featured artists as we count down to another year of groundbreaking public art.
The Map is Live!
Discover and Redefine Public Art
Our Public Art Map is a smartphone and desktop map that archives and highlights public art across Los Angeles. It features historically and culturally significant murals alongside galleries and museums in the LA area. This crowd-sourced project, relies on volunteers, artists, and galleries to track and tag art throughout the city.
We aim to challenge the traditional definition of public art, celebrating all art in public spaces—whether city-approved, street art, graffiti, or unauthorized murals. LA:PAMP showcases diverse works from neighborhoods across LA, sparking conversations about what defines public art while elevating "outsider" artworks that give the city its unique aesthetic.
2024 Grant Awardees
This year's awardees explore deep personal and historical narratives through painting, performance, and mixed media. Their works critically engage with themes of cultural identity, immigration, and the human impacts of incarceration, blending individual experiences with broader societal issues.
