"An art project is trying to get some attention for classic masterpieces outside of a museum. Art Everywhere US, a cross-country art project, launched Monday in cities across the United States, taking renowned artworks and plastering them in public spaces on billboards, buses, benches and more.\nThe concept was inspired by Richard Reed, who founded Art Everywhere, \"a very very big art show,\" in Britain. British art was on display where advertising is normally seen throughout July.\nSee also: 25 Strikingly Beautiful Murals From Google's Street Art Project\nThe art highlighted in Art Everywhere US was first chosen by the participating museums and then set to a public vote. The resulting list of 58 artworks are meant to represent American history and culture.\nFive museums are participating in the project: The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), the Art Institute of Chicago, the National Gallery of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Dallas Museum of Art.\n\nArt is everywhere! #ArtEverywhereUS #TimesSquare pic.twitter.com/eYOq0BkfxP\n\u2014 Art Everywhere (@arteverywhereus) August 4, 2014\n\n\nAnd the first sighting!
