Written By theholyart

At The Holy Art Gallery, we have always believed that art belongs to everyone, and that artists deserve the biggest stage possible. Having hosted over 400 exhibitions for 25,000+ artists in more than 20 cities worldwide, we are always asking ourselves: What’s next?

The answer is our most revolutionary digital exhibition yet. We are taking over the most iconic screen in the world

1568 Broadway in Times Square, New York City and we are inviting you to join us.

Redefining the Exhibition Space

We aren't just a gallery; we are a movement. Traditional gallery spaces are beautiful, but our digital showcases smash through the old gatekeepers of the art world. No expensive shipping fees, no customs paperwork, and no risk of damage.

By bringing your digital illustrations, photography, paintings, and graphic designs to giant LED screens in the heart of Manhattan, we are offering an unparalleled level of global exposure:

Massive Audience: Your work will be displayed 22 times throughout the day, seen by hundreds of thousands of daily visitors from every corner of the earth.
Curated Collective Format: We feature 15 incredible artists together as a collective showcase, celebrating a diverse tapestry of creative voices.
Beyond the Billboard: Selected artists don't just get the screen time; we feature you on our Instagram Stories to our 226K+ community, and you'll receive an official digital certificate of participation for your portfolio.
