MvVO Art is in charge of one of the more innovative gallery exhibitions on the East Coast, the Ad Art Show. For the last three years, the Ad Art Show’s given us a look at talented professionals from the advertising space to answer the question, “who could be the next Andy Warhol?”
They brought me on to chair content and programming, starting with 2020’s breakthrough event in the Westfield Oculus WTC digital space. For the month of September, as works from the 50+ artists selected for the show circulated throughout the retail space and online, I helped organize a series of live shows taking place Tuesdays through Fridays on the Ad Art Show’s YouTube Channel.
We enlisted Debbie Wells of Artful Circle, Alexis Hyde of LA-based gallery softcore.LA, and Dr. Erika Wong of To Practise_Practice to host weekly discussions on the art world, and I pitched in to interview creative ambassadors from all over adland.
