This past March, Lamar Advertising celebrated National Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month by partnering with Kansas City-area artist Ryan Sikes to turn his art into a digital billboard! Sikes, a member of the Johnson County Developmental Supports Emerging Artists program, had his artwork displayed on several digital billboards throughout the Kansas City area. When Sikes was asked what his dream for his art was, he said to have it displayed on a billboard. Lamar is thrilled that we were able to help Ryan’s dream come true!
