A Pop-Up Digital Art Gallery that shows artwork on video kiosks, screens and projectors. Over 300 unique original works of art created by 200+ local East Bay Artists will be shown. The event brings a large amount of art to the public.
*Note: These are not “NFTs”, they are photos of real physical artwork some of which may be for sale by the artists.
Artist’s rendition of 3 kiosks with local art on them.
The event will have 8-16 kiosks depending on space and additional screens.
The Location
The pop-up needs a space for 3 to 4 months. This covers setup and breakdown. This is an ideal program for a large vacant retail space with lots of windows. We are open to discussion for alternatives.
We want to book this show for 2-3 months each in Alameda, Oakland, Berkeley, and San Francisco.
Space Requirements:
1500 – 5000 sqft
Open space preferred.
White or light colored walls work best.
Electricity
Great windows
WiFi is nice to have but not required.
The Screens
The screens are being provided by Digifli. Depending on size and availability, we can have up to 16 free standing kiosks and 20 tabletop screens. We also have multiple projectors available depending on wall space.
Artist rendition of space. The images will change every 20 to 30 seconds. There will be hundreds of unique works.
The Opening Event
We will have an opening reception event where the public can come meet many of the artists and view the work. We expect this to be a very well attended and popular event. Artpush will use our established media and marketing channels to promote the opening.
We are hoping to have our first event open by June 2023. We are trying to do the first one in Alameda and then take it around the bay area.
Public Access
Depending on the availability of staff and volunteers, and the availability of grants and funding for the project, we will attempt to open the space for the public as often as possible. We will also try to have a closing party.
We will ask for a small donation at the door, probably sliding scale of $5-$20 per person that will go towards the org to cover expenses and staffing.
The idea is that the art is viewable from the street through the windows.
Who are the artists?
The bulk of the artwork will come from the last 3 editions of the East Bay Artists Book published by Artpush. We will also be accepting new work from artists in the bay area.
We will need lots of help.

Artpush has partnered with Digifli Community Bulletin Boards to promote local artists in the East Bay. We feature work by local artists along with their contact information on digital bulletin boards throughout Alameda and Oakland. This exposes the community to new art from local artists which is at the core of our Mission.
We will be making this a standard part of all of the calls-for-art we do beginning in December 2022. In addition to just featuring art, Artpush will also be promoting local art events. If you are interested in getting something featured email the details to
