ArtPop Goes International!

Cities Program2025
Written By Dylan Bannister

A longstanding staple of the ArtPop mission is the Cities Program, a juried exhibition of artworks by Charlotte-region artists on donated public advertising displays throughout the city’s metropolitan region. When possible, ArtPop also partners with international media partners in order to extend the reach of the Cities Program by featuring artists born outside of the U.S. within their home countries!

Check out the Charlotte artists that have been showcased around the globe when ArtPop Goes International!
