The Billboard
The Billboard is a series of large scale mural projects at the University of Houston’s Arts District, just outside of the College of Technology. The initiative was launched in 2020 with Spencer Finch’s Back to Kansas (2015). Muna Al-Bader’s Cultural Bonds (2021) was the second project in The Billboard series. Her mural was specially commissioned for the site in partnership with the Diplomacy Institute of University of Houston-Clear Lake and Qatar Museums in celebration of the 2021 Qatar-USA Year of Culture. Our third project is Ave’s Sonar (2022) by the Houston-based artist DUAL.
