Second in the ArtPop Billboard Series

On your way to the airport be sure to look up and see the new location for the billboard featuring my Desert Mountain painting. Exit off of 85 onto Billy Graham Parkway and look up on the right. Or just glance out of the plane on your way back into town!

Exciting News for 2014!

Leigh B. Williams’ Artwork Accents Charlotte’s Skyline

Selected in a juried competition sponsored by the Charlotte Arts and Science Council in partnership with Adams Outdoor Advertising, Leigh B. Williams’ painting, Desert Mountains, was on display in uptown Charlotte from January 1st - March 31st. Stay tuned for future updates and new locations.

One of 15 Artists chosen by the jurors for the inaugural Charlotte “ArtPop” program, Leigh’s painting was prominently displayed on a billboard just off I-77 with the Panther’s Bank of America stadium and the new modernistic Duke Energy tower serving as a backdrop (initial location 822 W. Morehead Street at Cedar Street – see website link below for updated locations).   ArtPop is a growing national program that allows local artists to display their artwork and the public to connect with it as Public Outdoor Art.  Charlotte is the 8^th city to embrace this growing movement started by Wendy Hickey, a national sales representative for Adams. This project is schedule to run throughout 2014 with artwork moving periodically to new locations.   For more information on this innovative and engaging concept & current billboard locations, please visit the Charlotte Arts & Science website at www.artsandscience.org under programs and services.
