”MIMA a digital art program presenting moving image media artworks on multiple digital billboards at various locations along Sunset Boulevard. The program features licensed and newly commissioned, moving image digital artworks created by an inclusive roster of emerging, mid-career, and world-famous artists, filmmakers, and digital visionaries. MIMA is a fluid framework to engage diverse perspectives, challenge the status quo, and recommit the Sunset Strip as a dynamic, artistic, and cultural destination within the rich context of the City of West Hollywood.

The exhibition series offers artists the opportunity, and the funding, to create immediate, remarkable, and ambitious works of art that engage with the unique visual landscape of the world-famous Sunset Strip, and experiment with the state-of-the-art technology of high-definition digital signage. MIMA enables artists to occupy, contest, and play with the boundaries and uses of public space and manifest moments of connection and awe.” - The City of West Hollywood
