London vs Paris vs New York: Which Show Is Right For You

We've got three shows coming up across three cities and the question we keep getting is "which one should I apply for?" Here's the honest breakdown to help you decide.

Paris: 4 to 6 September 2026

Paris is where art lives. The audience here is a mix of local collectors, international tourists and people who genuinely spend their weekends going to exhibitions. The art scene is everywhere in Paris. It's not limited to a handful of neighbourhoods like some cities. People stumble into galleries the same way they stumble into cafes.

If your work leans towards fine art, abstract, photography or anything with a European sensibility, Paris is a strong fit. The crowd here tends to take their time with each piece. They want to understand what they're looking at. They ask questions. They come back on the second day.

Good for: painters, fine art photographers, abstract work, mixed media, artists who want an international audience.

London: 11 to 13 September 2026

London is the home of Streeters Gallery and the home of The Holy Art. The audience here is one of the most diverse in the world. You get collectors, students, creatives, people from the fashion and music industries, and tourists from every continent.

The London art scene rewards bold work. Things that make people stop scrolling and actually look. The crowd is fast moving but when something catches their eye they engage hard. Opening nights in London have serious energy.

Good for: bold and graphic work, illustration, street art influenced pieces, digital art, photography, sculpture, anything that grabs attention.

New York (Tribeca): 20 to 23 November 2026

New York is the big one. 101 Reade St in Tribeca. Four days instead of three because it's New York and the audience is worth the extra day.

The New York art scene is unlike anywhere else. The people who walk into galleries in Tribeca are serious. Collectors, gallerists, art advisors, curators from major institutions. But it's also one of the most welcoming crowds in the world. New Yorkers love discovering something new and they'll tell you exactly what they think, which is a good thing.

If you've never shown work internationally before, New York is a statement. It changes your artist CV forever. "Exhibited in Tribeca, New York" carries weight wherever you go.

Good for: every medium, every style. If your work is strong it will find its audience in New York. This is the show to go big on.

Can I apply for more than one?

Yes. You can apply for all three. Some artists do one physical show and add digital spots in the other cities to get maximum exposure across all three audiences.

Still not sure?

If this is your first ever exhibition, start with London or Paris. Shorter travel for most European artists and the weekend format is the perfect introduction to showing your work.

If you want to make a statement, go New York.

If you want maximum exposure, apply for all three and mix physical and digital.

Whatever you choose, you're showing to the same network of collectors and art enthusiasts that The Holy Art has built over six years across nine cities worldwide. The audience is already there.
