Dear all,
My name is Levan Geliashvili Eredeli founder of Art Up - Street Gallery based in Tbilisi,
Georgia. With this letter I would like to take an opportunity and introduce our project as
we wish to establish a partnership with you.
About Art Up / Street Gallery
Art Up Gallery is a digital art development project creating an alternative space of
exhibition in Georgia. The project gives the artists an opportunity to exhibit their works
in the streets of Tbilisi and Batumi or upload and sell arts on online platform Artup.ge.
The exhibition art boxes are placed on the walls of social spaces and host the
exhibitions literally on the street walls of the cities. Artists can organize personal
exhibition by filling out a special form website Artup.ge.
The project is funded by the Ministry of Culture of Georgia. It cover the costs for printing
and placement of the artworks in art boxes. Three boxes are located in the capital of
Georgia, in Tbilisi at Fabrika’s yard and 9 boxes are located in the central streets of
Batumi city. The project team provides media coverage for upcoming/ongoing
exhibitions using social media platforms - Facebook and Instagram. Press releases are
also distributed to the local media sources (TVs, Radios) and targeted audience.
Exhibitions
Since the beginning (2016) of the project Art Up / Street Gallery organized up to 25
exhibitions of Georgian and foreign artists. The recent exhibition authors were
American illustrator Dion MBD, famous Polish designer Janusz Jurek, Georgian graphic
designer Nino Bosikashvili, Georgian street artist Tam Oonz, London based illustrator
Joanna Layla etc.
Along with digital art development process, we pay special attention to social problems.
With this aim exhibitions were dedicated to women's rights, equality, fight against
violence, as well as environmental protection. From December 1-14, in the frame of
Human Rights Day we will open thematic exhibition of Georgian street artist Tina
Chertova.
You are welcome to visit our Facebook or Webpage and look at albums and portfolios
of the artist. For upcoming and ongoing exhibitions you can visit events calendar.
Proposal for Cooperation
Innovativeness and openness of culture and involvement of all groups of society in
creation of culture is one of the main goals of both Countries. Keeping in mind that art
plays an important role connecting people beyond the borders, promotion of
internationalisation of culture and strengthening it within the global context is very
important.
We believe that our project is a step forward in the process of achieving above
mentioned goals. With this in mind, we thought It would be great if Georgian, Estonian
and other country artists could have a possibility to exhibit their digital artworks in the
streets of Georgia and Estonia within the frame of joint project. Also, specialized
trainings or workshops would significantly improve knowledge and skills of artists in
digital art direction.
General ideas of joint project are following:
Placement of Art boxes in the streets or social spaces in Estonia;
Trainings or workshops for artists specialised in digital art direction with the
involvement of international trainers or famous artists;
We are open to suggestions for better ways of reaching this goal and stand ready to
provide additional information if required. We look forward to hearing from you and
remain hopeful of your decision.
Best regards,
Levan Geliashvili
