The Los Angeles Public Art Mapping Project

A portal for public art in Los Angeles.

LA:PAMP is a smartphone and desktop map and archiving project. Built to help people find all things public art. We included a section of historical and culturally important murals curated by @public_archivist and the Civic Art Baseline Inventory. There are also LA area galleries and museums. LA:PAMP is a crowd-sourced project relying on volunteers, artists, and galleries to track and tag work throughout the Los Angeles area.  The Billboard Creative maintains and manages the project, but at its core, it is a project created by the artists of our city and beyond. Their drive gives our city its unique voice and visual aesthetic that can only be Los Angeles. 
The Billboard Creative wants to challenge our definition of public art. We believe public art is art that is created for public consumption in public spaces, including unauthorized murals, street art, and graffiti. The Billboard Creative holds a strong conviction that public art should encompass all art that is physically accessible to the public regardless of the process and funding it took to create the work. We know that goes beyond the traditional definition, which is often narrowly defined as art created for the public and approved by a city's art commission. Our aim with LA:PAMP is to bring awareness and interest to the hundreds of 'outsider public artworks' included on our map across the city's diverse neighborhoods and spark conversation about what defines public art. LA:PAMP features civic art that falls under the well-recognized scope of the definition of public art alongside art in the public realm that we think should be recognized, explored, and put on the map.

Gabba Alley Project

In its 9th year, the Gabba Alley Project is planning for a refresh of murals that cover four alleys in Historic Filipinotown.  In case you haven't seen it, they have created over 110 stunning murals showcasing the incredible power of public art. You can find a map of their work at the Gabba Gallery Site or use the Los Angeles Public Art Mapping Project's geo-tagged smartphone map. We are excited to see what they have in store next!
