GAMeC - Galleria d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea

Profil

GAMeC - Galleria d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea di Bergamo was founded in 1991. The building it is housed in was formerly a convent built in the fifteenth century that has been completely renovated by Vittorio Gregotti with financial support from the Municipality of Bergamo and the bank Credito Bergamasco. The cultural policy proposed by the museum is diversified across its more than 1500 square metres of display area: temporary solo and joint exhibitions by international artists, unseen projects by up-and-coming artists, historically and artistically wide-ranging exhibitions, and projects for artists tied to the local area all provide opportunities for enjoyment to those interested in contemporary art and creativity.
The purpose underlying the creation of GAMeC, which is partnered by the Accademia Carrara and the Accademia Carrara di Belle Arti, was to form a pole in the city dedicated to art.
Since 2000 the Galleria has been managed by the Associazione per la GAMeC - onlus, whose founding members are the Municipality of Bergamo and TenarisDalmine, with Emeritus members the Banca Popolare di Bergamo - Gruppo BPU Banca and Bonaldi, and with supporting member Confindustria Bergamo.
