THE HISTORY OF AN ART GALLERY

ON THE OCCASION OF 10th ANNIVERSARY OF GALERIAKALO

 

With the exhibition titled PROMENADE organized last week, FONDACIONI KALO ART and GALERIAKALO celebrated their 10th anniversary. A selected number of artworks by Masters, and other well-established artists were displayed on that occasion.  GALERIAKALO was founded in November 2014 to support fine arts through art activities across Albania and beyond. The then Minister of Culture, Mrs. Mirela Kumbaro, cut the ribbon and “blessed” the gallery as an important public good that came at the right time.
