DESIGNED BY ARTISTS Park West Gallery is working in collaboration with major artists like Tim Yanke to design enhanced augmented reality experiences that you can access using the Moving Canvas app. Just open the app, point the viewer at an official Moving Canvas artwork, and the art will spring to life—moving, changing, and (in some cases) flying off the canvas! “We are constantly looking to innovate,” says Park West Founder and CEO Albert Scaglione. “The ‘Moving Canvas’ platform gives artists an exciting new tool to enrich their artwork in ways previous generations never could’ve imagined.” Founded in 1969, Park West Gallery is the world’s largest art dealer.
