About Your Art Here
Overview
Since 2002, Your Art Here (YAH) has founded three community-run-artist-billboards in Bloomington
and Indianapolis, and has exhibited over 50 art billboards on YAH billboards and on commercial for-rent
billboards. For the first time in 2006, Your Art Here has also displayed art on city buses.
