Beti Films is commissioning a billboard design for the FREE MATTHEW campaign. Matthew Echevarria was wrongfully convicted at the age of 17 and has been fighting for his freedom for over 20 years. The goal of the FREE MATTHEW billboard design project is to build awareness and elevate Matthew’s case by creating compelling public art displays that command the attention of those who pass by and urge them to take action.

The billboard is located at the corner of Harlem and Fullerton Avenues in Elmwood Park, IL. The selected artist will receive a stipend of $500 for their design.
