Association "Association of Galleries" (AGA) unites 25 galleries of contemporary art and was created with a purpose of representing art industry's interests at
private,
governmental and
international levels. AGA is a member of the Federation of European Art Galleries Association (FEAGA).
"Association of Galleries" was created at the initiative of the Center of Modern Art Winzavod as one of the key projects of the Art Market direction. Modern art galleries are behind many processes that change the image of our country for the better - such as the transformation of cluster zones (former industrial production) into innovative cultural centers, the appearance of truly modern sculpture on the streets of our cities, the joint implementation of large-scale projects with state museums.
The role of galleries and art institutions in most countries of the world as key players, the engines of the art system is not currently disputed - however, in Russia they still do not have a deserved social influence. «Association of Galleries» hopes to change this situation. And thus, a more active and beneficial impact of contemporary art on society.
"Association of Galleries" (AGA) intends to unite all significant players of the market of modern art in Russia.
