The Museum of Wild and Newfangled Art Launches Opening Show

The Museum of Wild and Newfangled Art Launches Opening Show

The Museum of Wild and Newfangled Art (mowna) is a newly opened online museum specifically designed for the digital age. This cutting-edge, online platform provides a space for artists and art of all mediums to be showcased while providing visitors and members with a unique experience. Available for viewing now, the mowna Opening Show features a variety of wild and newfangled art, including interactive exhibits, 360 videos, experimental photography, films, videoart, sound, gifs, software generated works, and the first Zoom Mini Opera, “all decisions will be made by consensus,” by New York Times acclaimed composer Kamala Sankaram.

“Now more than ever, artists need financial relief as well as an accessible place to showcase their art” says artist cari ann shim sham*, who co-founded mowna along with artist Joey Zaza. “As large institutions cancel or postpone shows, the art that is being made currently will not be seen, might be lost, or perhaps considered irrelevant by a show that is scheduled as far off as 2022” says Zaza. mowna helps solve this crisis through a humane, user-friendly platform that supports a diverse range of art and artists right now with 70% of ticket sales going to the artists.
