The Red Ger Art Gallery was established in June 2003 with an aim to promote Mongolian fine arts abroad and within the country and to support sustainability in Mongolian fine arts by providing market platform for artists.
The Red Ger Art Gallery promotes the works by famous and young emerging artists and also serves as an invaluable resource for ACM’s activities, both through direct revenue from arts and merchandise sales and through its role in supporting local artists to sustain their creative endeavors.
Significant
part of the annual Arts Council
fundraising comes from sales
at the Red Ger Gallery. The
Arts Council raises money
(and profile) thanks to the
Red Ger Gallery through 25%
commissions on sales of paintings
exhibited in the gallery,
as well as sales of ACM merchandise
(books, posters, post cards,
mouse pads, bookmarks).
ACM will continue to increase
earned revenues through the
Red Ger Arts Gallery and will
seek other sustainable forms
of income generation.
In 2007 Red Ger Art Gallery promoted the work of more than 80 artists and achieved sales to the value of $35,794 USD, raising $10,400 for ACM activities. The Red Ger Art Gallery has been and continues to be an invaluable resource for ACM’s activities, both through direct revenue from arts and merchandise sales and through its role in supporting local artists to sustain their creative endeavors. In 2006 Red Ger Art Gallery raised total of $11,516.
The Red Ger Gallery is not only a fundraising resource, but also it is a space to promote Mongolian artiosts to international and local audience, collectors and fine arts lovers. The Red Ger Gallery activities are part of the ACM's Artist Development Program and it also acts to support young artists to sustain and create their arts.
Sunjin Grand Hotel Art Collection
The ACM collaborated in the development of the Art Collection Project initiated and designed by SUNJIN GROUP and METAA in order to make arts collection for Sunjin Grand Hotel in Ulaanbaatar. Through this project, the art works of the well known and leading young artists of Mongolia were on display at the Sunjin Grand Hotel providing an opportunity for new artistic practices. As the hotel slogan says “Hotel Meets Art”, it introduces present and future of Mongolian art through a hotel space and same time supporting Mongolian artistic community.
Through this project, 33 art works by 15 young artists were commissioned and placed at the Sunjin Grand Hotel in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.
