New York City is not just the art capital of the world, it’s also a playground for digital and virtual creativity. Whether you’re a painter curious about tech-forward storytelling or an art professor guiding students through modern media, here’s a go-to guide on where NYC’s art scene meets screens and pixels.
ARTHOUSE.NYC’s Digital Gallery and Mobile Pop-up
Based in Greenwich Village, ARTHOUSE.NYC offers a unique subterranean digital gallery space that blurs the line between immersive experience and speakeasy vibes. They also operate MARLA, a pop-up gallery on wheels loaded with customizable digital screens—perfect for showcasing digital art, NFTs, or mixed-media in unexpected places. This portable platform brings shows to neighborhoods and art fairs that might otherwise stay analog.
Bitforms Gallery
Founded in 2001, Bitforms Gallery in the Lower East Side remains a pioneer in digital media art. They exhibit works by artists deeply immersed in tech. Think generative art, video, algorithmic time-based pieces. It’s a rare space where code and canvas merge in gallery context.
The NFT Gallery
Tucked into the Lower East Side, The NFT Gallery curates digital and NFT artworks accessible both in physical display and via blockchain-based authentication. It’s a friendly corner for artists and buyers keen on the crossover between crypto and curiosity-driven visual culture.

The Museum of Digital Experiences (MoDE)
In Brooklyn’s DUMBO neighborhood, MoDE proudly operates as the city’s first all-digital museum. Exhibitions here unfold via immersive screens and interactive designs—making digital art a fully spatial experience. Think installation, not just print on screen.
Times Square’s Midnight Moment
This nightly public art program turns Times Square’s iconic billboards into a digital gallery—as seen by millions. From video loops to animated art, “Midnight Moment” features work on a monumental scale, proving that digital art can be immersive and approachable—even in the busiest corner of the city.
Museum Virtual Tours: The Met & MoMA
For those at home or in the classroom, two museums offer digital experiences with rich depth:
- The Met 360° Project uses spherical video to let you virtually roam galleries like the Cloisters or see their architecture from a cinematic angle.
- MoMA’s Virtual Views offer live curatorial talks, guided tours, and thematic deep dives—accessible on select evenings and available on-demand.
Whether it’s pop-up screens, digital museum tours, museum website features, or public video art, New York has woven digital art into both its streets and virtual spaces. These venues offer paint-and-pixel painters, mixed-media artists, and lecturers a chance to explore how technology expands our creative horizons.
