How to Exhibit Your Art Internationally Without Shipping It

The biggest thing stopping artists from exhibiting internationally is not talent. It is logistics. Shipping a framed painting from Manila to Paris can cost more than the exhibition itself, and customs, insurance and damage risk stop most artists before they start.

There is a way around it, and most artists do not know it exists.

What a digital exhibition actually is

A digital exhibition means your artwork is displayed on screens inside the gallery, in the same room, during the same show, alongside the physical works on the walls. You submit a high-resolution image or video file. Nothing is shipped, nothing is framed, nothing crosses a border.

At The Holy Art, digital works appear on gallery screens ranging from 45 inches up to 100 inches, and in our New York and London galleries those are 4K displays. Your work is also included in the printed exhibition catalogue, which stays online after the show closes.

Who digital exhibitions are for

Artists outside the country of the exhibition, which is most artists. Digital artists, illustrators, photographers and video artists whose work is natively digital. Artists working at large scale where shipping is impractical. Artists testing whether exhibiting is right for them before committing to a physical show. And artists on a tight budget, since digital is a fraction of the cost of physical.

What you actually get

Your work shown in a real gallery in a real city, seen by real visitors. Inclusion in the exhibition catalogue. Promotion to our community of 250,000+ artists and collectors. A line on your CV that says you exhibited in Tokyo, or New York, or Paris. The show does not distinguish between physical and digital artists in the room. Visitors see the work.

How to submit digital work

Submit high-resolution image files, or video up to one minute and 20MB. Larger video files can be shared via a Google Drive link. Photograph physical work in natural daylight, straight on, against a plain background, if you are submitting a digital version of a physical piece.

The cities you can show in without leaving home

London, New York, Tokyo, Paris, Milan, Athens and Amsterdam, plus our Times Square billboard in New York, which is digital only and requires no travel at all.
