The Billboard

Australia's largest public art canvas, The Billboard measures 45m x 9m, and is used exclusively to exhibit work specifically designed for the space.

Fronting the busy arterial Kelvin Grove Road, The Billboard is seen by an estimated 50 000 commuters each day, and is illuminated to form an enchanting image to passers-by and local residents each night.

Nineteen super-sized artworks have taken pride of place on The Billboard screen since its inception in 2004, with Sine Black's Botanica currently on display.

Each work is exhibited for an average of three to four months. Works are printed in-house using adhesive-backed vinyl and UV-safe inks, and the completed image takes a team of abseilers up to three days to hang.
