Aspan Gallery

Aspan Gallery is a contemporary art gallery based in Almaty, Kazakhstan. The gallery's mission is to represent and support multidisciplinary work by Central Asian artists through exhibitions, publications, residencies, educational programmes and commissions.

In 2015 the gallery initiated a series of mid-career retrospectives of a number of Central Asian contemporary artists, held jointly by the A. Kasteev Museum of Arts and Aspan Gallery. These will be first museum shows in Central Asia of these artists who, although internationally acclaimed, are little-known in their home countries. The Gallery’s focus on Central Asian contemporary art is complimented by its international programme which introduces a wide range of contemporary art to Central Asia and provide a platform for its understanding and appreciation. The Gallery believe in the capacity of art to develop critical and creative thinking, and through that to transform  society.
