Gallery 9B

Gallery 9B is a contemporary art gallery in Nizhny Novgorod, the first institutional art residence in the city. It was founded in 2018 by art collectors Georgy Smirnov and Elena Talyanskaya. The gallery presents its own projects, holds exhibitions in partnership with other galleries, and shows the work of art residencies. During art residencies, the place is modified so an artist has living and working spaces. The participation in the art residency program is by invitation, and preference is given mostly to painting and works on paper. Artists hold special public events, work on their projects, and get acquainted with the culture, history, and art environment of Nizhny Novgorod and the region. Many artists, including Alisa Ioffe, Rodion Kitaev, Sveta Shuvaeva, Stasya Grishina, Andrey Berger, have participated in the gallery’s residency program. In 2023, Gallery 9B opened a new project, The Workshop of Gallery 9B, where young Nizhny Novgorod artists are working with hybrid objects, graphics, and painting.

The Gallery is an art platform for communications, cooperation, and experiments. Its mission is to support young artists. It also offers its space to the projects and events of galleries and artists from other cities, so that art lovers in Nizhny Novgorod can learn about the tendencies in Russian contemporary art.
