Be Part of LA's Annual Billboard Exhibition

The Billboard Creative's goal is to help emerging and underrepresented artists break through traditional career bottlenecks by raising their profile in a massive way - as part of LA's annual billboard exhibition.

NEW Interview With Artist
Allegra Jones

WRITTEN BY  JASPER MCMAHON

We sat down with artist Allegra Jones at her home in Highland Park, LA. Allegra is a multidisciplinary artist working with drawing, painting, animation, graphic design, and music. We spoke about her path to finding an artistic voice that weaves through all of these mediums, and how the BLM movement completely altered her creative output and purpose. We also explored the themes surrounding her last painting show at Five Car Garage.

Conversation with Hannah Givler

Hannah Givler makes sculpture in unexpected ways, often revealing the potential of common fabrication materials. Her thoughtful use of form, interest in myth, and creating puzzles to be solved leads to objects that call for a slow read.

The Billboard Exhibition

TBC produces an annual, month-long exhibition on the streets of Los Angeles. For over 7 years, we have carefully curated and hung work on a massive scale throughout the city, with our billboards being viewed more than 1.2 million times. Celebrating emerging and mid-career artists from around the globe, the show is open to submissions across all disciplines. Click here for more information and to learn how you can submit your work for consideration.

Artist Short Films

Preparing for our annual exhibition is a year-round process, allowing us to develop relationships with artists from all corners of the globe. Beginning last year, we added another channel for connecting audiences and creators, documenting the process and philosophy of five artists with filmmaker Sam Vladimirsky. We look forward to adding three new documentaries to this series in 2021

TBC|Interview

A digital look at today’s most interesting voices in art, from all sides of the creative spectrum. TBC Interview will be a growing resource for in-depth conversations on the issues that artists are dealing with and thinking about right now. We hope it serves as a point of discovery, as well as a place to delve deeper into the stories that drive each artist’s creative process.

Guest Artists
Program

Each of our exhibitions are headlined by one or more acclaimed guest artists. In addition to having their work featured on billboards throughout Los Angeles, these individuals help raise awareness and increase exposure for other TBC participants. Past guest artists have included Ed Ruscha, Lawrence Weiner, Marilyn Minter, Paul McCarthy, Alex Prager, Jack Pearson and Laurie Simmons.
