The 7th edition of the AD ART SHOW took place during #OOHNYC on the evening of Thursday October 17 with an exclusive reception by Outfront Media.

Attendees from both the art and advertising worlds gathered to celebrate the winning artists, engage in a thought-provoking artist panel discussion moderated by AdAge’s Senior Creativity Reporter, Sabrina Sanchez, and connect with the artists themselves.

AD ART SHOW honors the art created by the world’s most creative minds in advertising, following in the footsteps of legendary artists like Andy Warhol, who also began their careers in advertising. All 100 selected artists were carefully vetted by MvVO ART’s curatorial team of art professionals, with the winning artists chosen by a jury of esteemed contemporary art collectors.

Danae Nunez, Mocosa, Associate Creative Director at Grey, took top honors for her powerful mixed-media collages and paintings exploring Latino identity and cultural stereotypes. She was awarded the AD ART SHOW Specialty Clio Award at the reception. Her work, along with that of Edom Tilahum (Art Director at Ogilvy) and Arturo Macouzet (Creative Director at Grey), was prominently displayed on OUTFRONT Media’s iconic Times Square billboards that same evening.

Works by the top ten artists shown below will also receive nationwide exposure on OUTFRONT’s billboards across the U.S.

• Arvie McKenzie (Art Director at Wieden & Kennedy)

In her closing remarks, Maria van Vlodrop, founder of MvVO ART/AD ART SHOW and recognized as a top cultural shaper (Adweek Creative 100), said “MvVO ART is proud to have created the AD ART SHOW platform to showcase contemporary artists from the advertising industry. While our partners OUTFRONT Media and the Clio Awards help us extend our reach—OUTFRONT by showcasing the top artists on billboards across the nation and Clio by honoring the most outstanding work—the heart of this show is our commitment to discovering and promoting new contemporary talent. We invite all art lovers to explore and purchase these incredible works through our MvVO ART e-gallery on Artsy.”
