“When I visited the Sistine Chapel in Rome, there were longlines, and we were rushed through.”
The New York exhibition will allow visitors to enjoy iconic art life-sized and up-close, according to Biallas.
“The IC community is a blend of traditional craftsmen, cutting-edge artists, and tech innovators, making this modern interpretation of the Sistine Chapel a perfect fit,” Jim Somoza, Managing Director at Industry City told Patch.
“Industry City aims to offer exciting and accessible art experiences for New Yorkers, and this
