Being stuck in traffic is an unpleasant experience, and few cities know this better than Los Angeles. Famous for its infuriating stop-and-go gridlock, an innovative project hopes to ease the pain of being stuck in a car. The Billboard Creative is a nonprofit that takes unused and remnant billboards and turns them into public art.

The Billboard Creative rotates artists and curators by creating month-long shows. Mona Kuhn is the curator behind this current 33-billboard iteration, and she chose the works—which feature photography, painting and sculpture— she selected pieces based on how they would integrate into the locations and types of traffic, be it slow or gridlocked. The public art project is open to everyone, with an open call for submissions. (source).
