Our current campaign, "Take the Walls Back," calls attention to the illegal corporate billboards covering New York’s creative walls. Join us as we expose unpermitted advertisers and reclaim public space for art.
Know a wall or barricade that’s been taken over by advertisers? Submit it for review. Our team investigates illegal ad takeovers and contacts landlords, brands, lawyers and the DOB to help protect artist spaces citywide.
Did you get an email from an OOH company threatening fines or legal action? Well, without an OAC number or permit, they can't. Submit the email or letter to us, redact the info you don't want shared and we will fight on your behalf!
Join our upcoming Street Defense Workshop, where we’ll teach you how to document unpermitted signage, communicate with property owners, and take back your local canvases—ethically and legally.
Whether you’re an artist, organizer, or supporter, your voice matters. Volunteer, donate materials, or host a neighborhood meetup. Together, we can defend New York’s visual culture.
Join our Public Awareness Action initiative — a citywide effort to inform landlords and residents about illegal outdoor advertising. We distribute educational flyers, share verified DOB data, and spotlight companies exploiting NYC’s walls for profit. Help us spread the word and keep the art in the streets.
