The City of Chicago's Artist Billboards Project features 20 artist-designed #COVID19 PSA billboards, presented by the Chicago Mayor's Office and the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events, led by the inimitable artist Amanda Williams (AW Originals), made possible by Clear Channel Outdoor, and located in neighborhoods on Chicago’s South and West sides. 

The Billboards Project displays PSAs as public art, as public beauty, by this most inspiring group of artists:

Damon Locks, Candace Hunter, Dorian Sylvain, Okunola Jeyifous, Tonika Lewis Johnson, Sam Kirk, Jonathan Michael Castillo, Just Flo, Aram Han Sifuentes, Cecil Mcdonald Jr, Nick Cave, and Clifton Henri.

The billboards, which bring important messages around social distancing, washing hands, and more, are installed in the Auburn Gresham, Austin, Belmont Craigin, Calumet Heights, Chatham, Englewood, Hermosa, Humboldt Park, Irving Park, Little Village, Pilsen, South Shore, West Englewood, and West Garfield Park neighborhoods.
