Profile
The Arsenal Gallery was founded in Bialystokin 1965 as one of the Art Exhibition Halls (Biuro Wystaw Artystycznych). It was managed in turn by Mikolaj Wolkowycki, Wladyslaw Sekunda, Maria Maranda, Irena Dojlida, Ewa Cywinska, and from 1990 by Monika Szewczyk. Presently, it is a city gallery, financed by the Local Government of Bialystok. The Arsenal Gallery in Bialystok is a venue that has made its presence felt, both in Polandand in Europe.
The Gallery carries out a solidny planned and consistent exhibition programme - it presents and promotes the most modern art of different media (painting, sculpture, objects, photography, video art, intern-media installations, performance, etc.). The Gallery presents over 20 exhibitions annually, which are individual shows or presentations focusing on a particular problem. The Gallery also presents the programmes of other interesting galleries. We organize avant-garde concerts, film shows and launch events for books about art. The Gallery publishes catalogues or other publications to all the presented exhibitions.
