Sustainability & Fashion
Billboards Transformed from the Roadway to the Runway!
ArtPop’s Sustainability & Fashion program is our ongoing effort to sustain our artists’ work - and our planet - by keeping materials used in our Annual Artist Cohort out of landfills by creatively repurposing them in a way that only artists and designers can.
ArtPop commissions local designers to transform retired billboard material into astounding couture fashion and unique functional accessories, while delivering on our promise to give local artists the tools to achieve sustainable success.
Over 13,400sq ft
of Billboard Vinyl
kept from landfills annually!
We believe that art creates beauty, not waste.
How It’s Made:
1. Original artwork painted by local artist Barbara Curry
2. Barbara’s artwork featured on a ArtPop billboard throughout 2024
3. Upcycled gown made by local designer Hope Gottschling using the retired billboard material

ArtPop is looking for community leaders who are just as passionate and innovative to join us in taking this program to the next level.
Your contribution will go towards helping ArtPop deliver on its promise to keep our materials out of landfills. You will also be nurturing the dozens of artists and community members that make our Annual Upcycled Fashion Show & Fundraiser a success, and your contribution will live on indefinitely as pieces of art enjoyed in traveling exhibits, public installations, and the homes of fellow art patrons!
