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.
The 2025 Billboard Show Has Officially Wrapped
Thank you to everyone who explored the streets with us and made this year’s exhibition unforgettable. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be taking the boards down, but the impact of the art lives on.
This year, we were proud to feature powerful work from both emerging and established artists—transforming the Los Angeles skyline, one board at a time.

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.
