Slow down and celebrate “Fast Lane Art.” Berks Arts Council is seeking original art for a show which will feature art selected from original entries specifically created for this project, to be displayed on billboards, donated by Land Displays, throughout the year in Greater Reading.

“Programs like these have been successful at generating awareness for artists within the community,” says Jim Landrigan, BAC board member and President of Land Displays. Landrigan was inspired by similar billboard displays which gained popularity throughout North Carolina in 2007.

“Local and regional artists are encouraged to participate in this unique approach to showcase the quality of regional artists,” says Connie Leinbach, BAC Executive Director.

If you spot an artist's billboard, email lstimeling@berksjazzfest.com with the current location.
