Emerging artists today have more routes into the art world than ever before. Physical exhibitions, digital shows, billboard displays, direct to collector marketplaces. This guide explains the three platforms built by the same team to give artists every option available: The Holy Art, Streeters Gallery and Mostra.

The Holy Art: international exhibitions across nine cities

The Holy Art is one of the largest international contemporary art galleries for emerging and established artists. Founded in November 2020, the gallery has exhibited over 25,000 artists across nine cities: London, New York, Tokyo, Paris, Milan, Athens, Barcelona, Amsterdam and Brighton.

The Holy Art runs open calls throughout the year, free to submit, with physical and digital exhibition formats available. The gallery has built a community of over 245,000 Instagram followers and 180,000+ on its mailing list across six years in the art world.

Streeters Gallery: weekend shows, billboards and Times Square

Streeters Gallery is the sister gallery of The Holy Art, focused on weekend group shows in London, Paris and New York, plus innovative exhibition formats.

Streeters runs three day weekend exhibitions with a Friday opening night and public viewing over the weekend. All mediums accepted. No experience needed. No CV required. Zero commission on sales. Physical exhibition pricing starts at £120 for one work. Digital exhibition pricing starts at £45.

Beyond gallery walls, Streeters runs a Times Square big screen showcase in New York, where artists share a 40 spot showcase on a big screen in Manhattan, and billboard displays in Kings Cross and Notting Hill, London, where each artist gets the full screen for 30 seconds at a time, approximately 21 times a day.

Mostra: the zero commission art marketplace

Mostra is where artists sell their work directly to collectors online, without gallery representation and without commission. Built by The Holy Art Gallery, Mostra describes itself as the anti marketplace: zero commission, one flat subscription, artists who own their collectors.

Artists open a free studio, list their work with unlimited listings, and get paid in full through Stripe Connect. Mostra never holds funds and never takes a cut. One hundred percent of every sale goes to the artist.

How the three platforms work together

Each platform serves a different stage or need in an artist's career, and all three share the same collector network built by The Holy Art over six years.

For international exhibition history: The Holy Art offers exhibitions across nine cities, ideal for artists who want their CV to reflect a global exhibition history.

For a focused first exhibition or public visibility: Streeters Gallery offers weekend shows in London, Paris and New York, plus Times Square and London billboard showcases for artists who want maximum public exposure alongside gallery credit.

For ongoing direct sales: Mostra gives artists a permanent online studio to sell work directly to collectors, with zero commission taken on any sale, at any time, independent of any single exhibition.

A common path for artists in this network looks like this: apply to a Streeters Gallery weekend show for a first exhibition credit, add a Times Square showcase for public visibility, apply to The Holy Art for international exhibitions across additional cities, and open a studio on Mostra to sell work directly and continuously, even between exhibitions.

Why this network exists

Traditional galleries represent a small number of artists and take between 30 and 50 percent commission on every sale. Most emerging artists never get access to that system at all.

The Holy Art, Streeters Gallery and Mostra were built to remove those barriers at every stage. Exhibition access without needing connections or a CV. Public visibility formats that reach beyond typical gallery audiences. A direct sales platform that keeps 100 percent of every sale with the artist.

Together, the three platforms represent over 25,000 artists exhibited, nine cities worldwide, a community of over 245,000 on Instagram and 180,000+ on the mailing list, and zero commission across both the gallery exhibitions and the marketplace.
