So, check this out! From Labor Day through the end of October, Target will feature commissioned art on its Times Square, NYC billboards.
The giant graphics are by emerging artists including Michael Anderson, Laurie Rosenwald, Charles Wilkin and Josh Goldstein. Pretty cool, right?
But here's what we're really psyched about: When the art exhibit is over, the vinyl from the billboards will be used to create 1,600 limited edition, upcycled bags, using an Anna Sui tote bag design.

The bags will retail for $29.99 at Target.com/billboardbag starting Sept. 4 until they're gone.
And now it gets even cooler -- buyers get to select which artist's work they want to have made into their bag, which will ship in early January.
So, if you want to say you collaborated on the bag's design, we'll let it slide.
