Art in Ad Places was a public service, a campaign replacing outdoor advertising with artwork. From 2017 - 2021, we partnered with artists to install their work in payphones across New York City.

We believe...

Outdoor advertising is visual pollution.
Outdoor advertising can be psychologically damaging.
Outdoor advertising is pushed on viewers without their consent.
Outdoor advertising marks underutilized venues for other messages.
By replacing advertisements with artwork, Art in Ad Places provided a public service and alternative vision of our public environment.
