The Gallery had more than 57 artists on show in the first exhibition that was held in Milan in Piazza Gae Aulenti during MiArt (Milan Art Week), the works were exhibited on 6 huge LED Walls with innovative shapes distributed in the square. In New York, in Times Square during The Armory Show, 56 other artists, from over 30 countries, were displayed on billboards more than 20 meters high by 30 meters wide. And in Miami Beach during the Art Basel more than 100 artists were displayed on a floating platform that produced more than 7 million views. Art Innovation Gallery have worked with over 300 artists, some of which are among the most influential in the world of crypto art and some are a selection of emerging new talents.
Francesca Boffetti, founder of Art Innovation Gallery said: “We are promoting the culture of Digital Art on Maxi LED walls all over the world, showing artists “on-chain” and in the major cities. Art Innovation goes beyond the concept of the physical space. It is in fact the first gallery to exhibit NFT in a traveling show, putting the artists in direct touch with the largest possible audience. Blockchain technology is the inevitable future, bringing trust and transparency to every user. It solves many problems, beginning with authentication, transparency of operations, historical provenance and copyright.”
Art Innovation Gallery was set up in 2022 to promote the best creative energies in the field of digital art by creating a program of international exhibitions. Moreover, in response to the new demands of collectors, during the show each work will be accompanied by a QR code to provide full information about the NFT.
