Meet Our Chairman

I am excited to share with you some information about my role as the president of AAVK, and for that, so far we have successfully realized two of our traditional projects:

the International Biennale of Drawing (two editions) and
the Annual Exhibition of Artists of AAVK (four editions).

As chairman, I first have the responsibility but also the pleasure of overseeing the planning and execution of these quadrennial events that showcase a diverse range of artworks and artists. These exhibitions are an opportunity to celebrate creativity, explore new ideas and perspectives, and bring communities together through the power of art.

Our quadrennial events are carefully curated to showcase the best of contemporary art and provide a platform for emerging artists and beyond to promote and recognize their talents. We work tirelessly to ensure that each exhibition is a unique and memorable experience, offering visitors and the artistic community a chance to engage and learn about art and artists in a more meaningful way.

As chairman, I am honored to work alongside a talented team of professionals who are passionate about arts and culture and dedicated to making every event a success. We strive to create an inclusive and welcoming environment that celebrates the diversity of the art world and encourages new contemporary voices and perspectives.

I invite you to explore our four-year project highlights pages where you can learn more about our exhibitions to date and our upcoming projects, as well as get a sense of the exciting and inspiring work we showcase.

Thank you for your interest in our organization, and we hope to see you at one of our events soon!
