Armenia Art Fair 2022’s Education and Culture Program brings together key specialists and influential figures to address important questions and trends for the region’s development in the global art world.

The program is curated and chaired by Dr Iain Robertson, a UK-based art expert and writer. Key topics for discussion this year include price differences between virtual and actual artworks, the visual arts most likely to attract future support and the essential ingredients for cultural sustainability. We’ll also look at whether it’s better to be an art dealer or an art broker.

Come and hear directly from leading gallerists and dealers who offer unique insights into future trends in contemporary art.

“Focus on”: Our round table discussion focuses this year on “Cultural sustainability and the role of the non-profit sector in developing regional and national art worlds.” The program includes Jean Boghossian of the Boghossian Foundation in Belgium and Nazareth Karoyan, founder and director of the Institute for Contemporary Art in Yerevan.

“Meet the Gallerists”: Workshop with founders and directors of renowned international galleries including Sundaram Tagore, an art historian, gallerist, and award-winning filmmaker; Chang Tsong-Zung, curator, art director of Hanart T Z Gallery and initiator of the “West Heavens” series of Indian-Chinese exchanges; Janet Rady, specialist in contemporary art, founder of Janet  Redy Fine Art gallery in London and Dubai.

“Art and Technology”: This annual program explores contemporary practice at the crossroads of analog and digital, visual images, matter, sound and technology. In 2022, we will focus on NFT and the digitalization of art in both public and private spheres and its effect on developments in art.
The panellists are the writer and curator Radesh Sidhu, art dealer Andreas Sandri and Artfacts and Limna co-founder Marek Claassen.
