After the success of the last New York Street Advertising Takeover in April 2009, Public Ad Campaign organized another band of artists to liberate the mostly illegally operated NPA billboards in Manhattan and Brooklyn on Sunday, October 25. Like last time, the first wave of volunteers in OSHA-approved neon vests, buffed the ad spots with white paint, followed by a second wave of artists who added their unique touches, turning the locations into temporary public canvasses and challenging the outdoor advertising company’s claims to legitimacy.
