Art Everywhere U.S. will make temporary use of up to 50,000 advertising displays nationwide to display American masterworks. The largely outdoor sites—which include billboards, bus shelters, trains, and buses—will feature large-scale reproductions of iconic works from the Whitney’s collection as well as selections from four other institutions: the Art Institute of Chicago, the Dallas Museum of Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the National Gallery of Art.
Of the 100 works submitted by these museums, half will be selected for display in August curated with the help of a public, online vote.
Polls are open through May 7, and the works chosen will be announced in June. Vote now!
