Drive-By-Art Los Angeles was an amazing outside public art exhibition organized by Warren Neidich, Renee Petropoulos, Michael Slenske and Anuradha Vikram.
DRIVE-BY-ART (Public Art in This Moment of Social Distancing), was designed as an outdoor public art exhibition that could be experienced from the safety and intimacy of one’s own automobile. (Perfect for LA).
