Bus Bench BroadCast
Bring art and poetry to bus stops and public spaces for Fall of Freedom - Nov 21 +22, 2025
BroadCast presents art that is often anonymous, presented in the world to the unsuspecting, and created in the spirit to democratize art. The original term for “broadcast” was used to describe seeds thrown into the air to disperse into the soil. Bus Bench BroadCast also refers to artists and audience as a cast of characters, each playing a generous role.
How to participate
Attend a collage-making event to create fine art prints. Or work solo and make a print of your art to install at a bus stop near you.
A QR code directs to this website and broadcast-art.org will serve as an online gallery to post Bus Bench BroadCast art. The art can be presented anonymously, or with your name and your website link posted here.
The first BroadCast exhibit curated by Kim Abeles was displayed at Rio Hondo College, Whittier, CA in 1995. Venues that followed included University of Pennsylvania, Clarion, PA; Fresno City College, CA; and Eagle Rock Community Cultural Center in Los Angeles. Each venue added artworks and conceptual engagements. In 2016, musicians and poets performed alongside the BroadCast installation co-curated with Abeles and Ken Marchionno for Los Angeles’ Keystone Art Studios Gallery. The 2025 Fall of Freedom offers an opportunity to explore art intended for public and strangers.
