Two billboards in Atlanta are drawing second glances for eye-catching graphics, progressive messaging, and a distinct lack of commercial purpose in traditional advertising settings.
Welcome to SaveArtSpace, an âurban galleryâ project.
âBy placing culture over commercialism, SaveArtSpace aims to empower artists from all walks of life and inspire a new generation of young creatives and activists,â said Travis Rix, executive director of the non-profit organization.
Based in Brooklyn, N.Y., the organization has created several public exhibitions since its 2015 inception. Themes include LGBTQ+ rights, feminism (watch video), climate crisis, racial inequality, social issues and âthe peopleâs art,â Rix added.
