Hello, It is Wendy,
Founder & ED ArtPop
Arts Nonprofit
Thank you, community, for 12 incredible years!
Thank you to the tiny yet mighty team and all who make this possible. Community at its finest!
What began as 20 artists on 20 billboards in 2014 on the highways of Charlotte has grown into a national movement.
Today, 222 unique artists have been showcased on billboards across the country, alongside commissions, art markets, and special projects. Together, we’ve paid out over $1 million directly to artists fueling creativity, opportunity, and connection.
Our signature Upcycled Fashion Show & Fundraiser, now in its 5th year, has become the event of the season, transforming past billboard vinyl into runway couture.
In 2025 alone, you made it possible to support more than 75 local artists small businesses, while continuing to connect artists and community and beautify our streets and skies.
Thanks to this year’s fashion show, we’ve already raised 12% of the funds needed to run our 2026 programming. But we can’t stop there, we need you to help us close the gap. That means 87% more to raise, and every single gift makes a difference.
Right now, we’re building a bold new strategic plan and refreshing our brand for the future. With your help today, we can make sure ArtPop continues to inspire, uplift, and transform for years to come.
Please give what you can to keep this movement alive. If you’re not in a position to give, would you kindly share? ♥️
We can’t wait to present our strategic plan to you this fall (2025)
Yours in service
-Wendy
