ArtPop Street Gallery showcases local artists and equips them to achieve sustained success.

We work to make art accessible to all people in the communities we serve because everyone deserves access to art.

OUR STORY

A passion for art and a love of community.

ArtPop Street Gallery was founded with a passion for local art and expertise in the advertising industry. In the years since, we've grown to build sustainable programs showcasing local artists and increasing art accessibility for all. We work with artists and businesses who are as passionate as we are and looking to add creativity and color to their communities.

THE PILLARS OF OUR MISSION

Upcycling Initiative

Our ongoing promise to our planet to keep the vinyl from our billboards out of the landfill by creatively repurposing them in a way that only artists can.

Community Events

Come as you are, open to all! Join us in celebrating local art at pop-ups, upcycled fashion shows, and creative gatherings.

Inspiration Projects

Turnkey creative solutions from A-Z. Connecting businesses to artists and artists to paid opportunities for any creative project imaginable.

Cities Program

An annual exhibition of 20 juried-in artists with a twist: The gallery is the entire Metro-CLT region - on billboards, digital displays and more!

“ArtPop Street Gallery has changed my life as an artist - professionally and personally in profound ways. They provide artists with motivation and inspiration just by existing. For artists, the opportunity is life and career changing. For the community, ArtPop fills the city (and beyond) with joy and beauty. I cannot thank ArtPop enough for the way it has grown my art practice and touched my life. Its impact will be everlasting.”

Sara Simmons, ArtPop Cities Program Class of 2021
