About Kulanshi
Committed to elevating contemporary art and inspiring cross-cultural conversations
Our Mission
Kulanshi Art Gallery serves as a bridge between traditional Central Asian culture and contemporary artistic expression. We are committed to providing a platform for emerging and established artists to showcase innovative works that challenge, inspire, and engage our community.
Founded in 2007, Kulanshi has grown from a single gallery space to a comprehensive cultural institution with three locations across Astana. Our name, inspired by the Kazakh word for a wild, untamed horse, embodies our spirit of artistic freedom, movement, and boundless creative energy.
