Contemporary Art Exhibition
The Artisterium Association is a non-governmental, non-profit organization that was established in 2008. The association’s main goal is organization of ARTISTERIUM, the annual Tbilisi international contemporary art exhibition and art events.

Artisterium is comprised of international art exhibitions, individual art and curatorial projects, two-day conference and educational and cultural programs.  The event’s title refers to the art club ‘ARS’ that existed in early 20th-century Tbilisi. The club was famous for its well-developed and intense artistic environment; its

avant-garde exhibitions, poetry evenings, lectures and other activities corresponding to the modernistic and cubist-futuristic tendencies of the time.
3rd Tbilisi International Contemporary Art Exhibition is dedicated to the 100th anniversary of Tbilisi History museum Karvasla.
The event is supported by the Ministry of Culture and Monument Protection of Georgia along with CGCCA – the center for global coordination of culture and art. Goethe Institute is a special partner of Artisterium 2010.
