The easiest way to show your work in Milan is a group exhibition with an open call: you apply online for free and only pay if your work is selected. Milan Open Art by The Holy Art is open to artists from any country, emerging or established, in any medium.
When and where. Milan Open Art runs from 22 to 25 January 2027 at Via Felice Casati 29, 20124 Milano. It is a double height gallery with track lighting, freestanding walls and a glass floor panel, the most dramatic space on our calendar, in Italy's contemporary art capital.
What you can show. Any theme and any medium: painting, photography, illustration, printmaking, sculpture, digital art and video. Physical works hang on the wall and must arrive framed. Digital works play on screens, so you do not need to ship anything.
How much it costs. Applying is free. If you are selected, a spot on the wall is £240 for 1 work or £380 for 2. A spot on the screen is £75, £110 or £135 for 1, 2 or 3 works. Prices include VAT.
How to apply. Fill in the form on the Milan Open Art page with images of your work. The deadline is 30 December 2026, and early applications get first pick.
