Recently seen more than 20 million times in Los Angeles, 10 original art works painted on recycled billboard vinyl head to the Bay Area to premiere on Earth Day, Tuesday, April 22, 2008.
At the gallery opening on Earth Day, the top 20 entries will be chosen by an art jury. Eco-LA will provide the winners with recycled billboard canvases on which they will paint their art. The “Gimme Shelter Art!” works will then go on display in 25 Clear Channel bus shelters across the Bay Area by the first week of June. Each shelter is projected to be seen 15,000 times daily, or more than 400,000 by month’s end.
“ReVisions/SF” is a unique collaboration of Eco-LogicalART with CBS Outdoor and Clear Channel Outdoor. The exhibit is made possible in part with a grant from the Vinyl Institute. With the art billboards positioned throughout the Bay Area, Schulberg calculates that by month’s end, using actual traffic data, one in five residents may catch a view of the “renewable imagery” art.
