The Cause

Art + Public Outdoor Project = ArtPop Street Gallery. We showcase local artists’ work in media spaces in their communities to make city-sized galleries. In a time when arts budgets are on the chopping block and we struggle to disconnect from our devices, public art is more important than ever. So much more than a beautiful addition to our urban landscape, public art unites, strengthens and grows communities. ArtPop ensures those communities always have access to art by supporting the artists that create it, giving them huge public canvases on which to create. We are quite literally a street gallery. We promote the work of local artists on available media space—billboards, buses, news racks, airports—and turn roads, highways and thoroughfares into opportunities for artistic appreciation and discovery.

Defending our collective access to the arts takes time and money. If we raise $40,000 by April, we will receive a matching donation. With a grant this large, we can only begin to imagine the artists we can support, the beauty we can bring to cities across the country and the happiness and health we can promote.
