What to Know
Twenty Artists in the Cohort
The class included 19 adults and one high school senior. Donated billboards and digital screens carried their work around the Charlotte metropolitan region and at additional sites.
A New York Extension
OUTFRONT Media supplied the Times Square display space. The partnership put artists associated with a regional program before New Yorkers and visitors from beyond the region.
Different Media and Generations
Featured artists included Teresa Dunlap, Rosemary Dykstra, Karey Bancroft, Diego Alba, and student Ellie Ko. Practices represented in the class ranged from Catawba pottery and embroidery to abstraction, photography, and narrative illustration.
Visibility With Practical Support
ArtPop paired display opportunities with education, professional connections, appearances, and paid work. The yearlong program treated exposure as one part of sustaining an art practice.
Art in Advertising Space
Founded in Charlotte in 2014, ArtPop entered its twelfth year in 2025. Partnerships with media companies and local businesses placed work along ordinary urban and rural routes. The organization's site documents its artists and programs.
