Ruarts Gallery is one of the most influential contemporary art galleries in Russia. Founded in 2004 by art collector Marianna Sardarova, the gallery supports and promotes the work of Russian and international artists who engage in a wide range of contemporary art practices. Over the past 20 years, the gallery has hosted more than 100 solo and group exhibitions. It collaborates with both established artists (nominees and laureates of contemporary art awards whose works are featured in museum collections) as well as promising young artists.
