In preparation for the Public Works art show at LALA Gallery Friday August 3rd, members of the WCA crew (Mear One, Zane, Evolve, Bazar, and Pyro) painted a beautiful 15’ x 50’ mural on a billboard canvas. Stay tuned for pictures of the finished billboard in our coverage for opening night of the exhibition.

This groundbreaking two-part exhibit, a collaboration with LA Freewalls and MacDonald Media to benefit Art Share LA, features murals by renowned contemporary artists in one of public media’s most controversial spaces - the billboard. Contributing artists include How & Nosm, Insa, Push, Revok, Risk, Ron English, Seen, Shepard Fairey, Trustocorp, WCA Crew, Uglar, and Zes.

The first part of the exhibit will feature the murals up-close-and-personal at LALA Gallery from August 3rd through the 17th. The murals will then be on display on billboards throughout Los Angeles on a rotating basis during the next year.
