KAZAKHSTAN ART TODAY 

Kazakhstan as one of the largest countries of Central Asia attracts a lot of attention. After twenty years of independence the idea about our country still remains vague and intangible. The same perception also applies to contemporary art of Kazakhstan. 

The perception is the same with regard to contemporary art of Kazakhstan, while the cultural and artistic life is very intense and many events will develop, through infrastructure and diverse manifestations and especially talented artists a strong personality, who speak both nationally and internationally. 

IADA helps to structure an artistic platform for the art of Kazakhstan called to become entrenched in the global cultural landscape. Wide scale events such as the Venice Biennale or ViennaFair, can amplify the impact of Kazakh art today.
