One of the most iconic art institutions on earth, The Tate Modern, will be spotlighting [emerging artists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/be-open-art) throughout London via an initiative dubbed '[Tate Collective’s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ithell-colquhoun) young artist billboards.' Recently, young talent between the ages of 16-25 were invited to submit up to seven pieces of artwork to be considered.

Soon, The Tate Modern will be showcasing the works of these young artists on [billboards across the city](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beige-billboards), offering exposure while helping to make art more accessible to the masses. In addition to helping emerging talent, this initiative is bringing art to the streets at a time when many museums and galleries are closed, and have been for months.

Tate Collective’s young artist billboards will begin to pop up around London on August 10th.
