101 contemporary artists and more.../ volume 10

Collect Art was founded in late December 2019 as a response to the challenges faced by both Georgian and international artists during the pandemic. What began as a supportive initiative soon expanded, shaped by years of accumulated experience and evolving creative practices, into a multifaceted platform with broader ambitions.

Art, in its essence, allows us to translate ideas into form—a privilege reflected in its many expressions. Whether visual, performative, or rooted in the everyday, each creation invites recognition for its beauty, emotional resonance, conceptual depth, or raw primitivism.

The 101 Contemporary Artists and More… book series embodies this vision, exploring the intersection of contemporary art and literature. It highlights artists and writers shaping today’s cultural landscape, encouraging audiences to embrace the unconventional, challenge assumptions, and experience moments of vulnerability and authenticity.

At its core, Collect Art seeks to connect Georgian and international cultural voices, fostering dialogue, accessibility, and new perspectives within the ever-evolving world of art.
