In 2015, the gallery initiated a series of mid-career retrospectives from a number of Central Asian contemporary artists, held jointly by the A. Kasteev Museum of Arts and Aspan Gallery in Almaty. These were the first museum shows in Central Asia of these artists who, although internationally acclaimed, are little-known in their home countries.
The gallery's focus on Central Asian contemporary art is complemented by its international programme which will introduce a wide range of contemporary art to Central Asia and provide a platform for its understanding and appreciation. It believes in the capacity of art to develop critical and creative thinking, and through that, to transform and open up society.
