Arts Council of Mongolia
(ACM) focuses on building
competitiveness of the arts
and culture sector through
capacity building of emerging
and established artists, arts
managers and young leaders in
the arts.
To continue this effort ACM
has opened its “Red Ger”
creative space last September
2018 based on its “Red Ger” art
gallery running since 2003. As
one of the first private galleries in
Ulaanbaatar Red Ger Art Gallery
promoted high quality, innovative
and well-presented contemporary
art exhibitions of Mongolian and
international artists to the public.
Looking into the future with its
new scope of operation, ACM’s
Red Ger Creative space will focus
on not only promoting visual arts
but also others fields including
music, dance, literature and film.
In addition, with ever increasing
demand of online based services,
ACM launched its first online store
www.redger.org on March 06,
2019 with support of Ard Financial
Group and Ardshop.mn and MN17
Gallery. The store is one stop for
those interested in art and craft
and design goods for their homes,
offices, special occasions and
presents.
Former “Red Ger” art gallery
was with the aim of supporting
Mongolian artists locally
and promoting international
competitiveness of artists and
growing creative collaboration.
Over the past 16 years, ACM
collaborated with 250 local and
international artists and organized
over 50 exhibitions of paintings,
sculptures, photography and media
arts. For instance, “Smoke of the
Brain” joint exhibition of emerging
artists; “Grass” exhibition by
Sarantsatsralt.S., “From the Heart”
and “Reincarnation” contemporary
exhibitions by Munkhtsetseg.J.,
“Emptiness” exhibition by
Dorjderem.D., “The Wings never
spread” exhibition by Badral.
Bu., “Wandering” exhibition by
Sukhburen.N., “People” exhibition
and “No More” media exhibition
against domestic violence by
Davaanyam.D., “Mongolia
+-40°C” by Rentsendorj.B. and
“BeeMigration”byMunkhjargal.J.
and so on.
As part of the new strategy
for 2019-2020, ACM selected
5 young talented artists to be
featured at the Red Ger Creative
Space. Those “Remarkable 5”
artists are “Zun” music and sound
