Episode 21: Wendy L Hickey
After a 20 plus year career in advertising, Wendy L. Hickey paired her passion of marketing and advertising with her love of promoting local artists and making art accessible to the masses through ArtPop Street Gallery. Wendy made the transition to full time Executive Director in May of 2018.
ArtPop is quite literally a street gallery: the nonprofit promotes the work of local artists on available media space — billboards, buses, news racks, airports — and turn roads, highways and thoroughfares into opportunities for artistic appreciation and discovery.
Since 2014, ArtPop Street Gallery has promoted more than 350 artists from North Carolina to Las Vegas through public art installations using more than $20 million dollars of advertising space.
