START Art Fair: Contemporary Azerbaijani Art
Saatchi Gallery, London
YAY Gallery, based in Baku, Azerbaijan, is delighted to announce its participation in the inaugural START Art Fair presented by Prudential. Held at the Saatchi Gallery, London, START will mark YAY Gallery’s first UK art fair.
YAY (meaning 'share' in Azerbaijani) was founded by YARAT, the leading non-profit contemporary art organisation in Azerbaijan. Opened in 2012 as part of YARAT’s on-going commitment to growing local art infrastructure in the Caucasus, YAY Gallery supports international dialogue for the arts and shares its proceeds between the artists and YARAT's wide-ranging projects, many of which focus on education.
A collaboration between the Saatchi Gallery and the Global Eye Programme, START is dedicated to supporting international emerging artists from around the world. Bringing together cutting-edge galleries from Asia, Europe, UK and USA, START is the ideal platform for Yay Gallery.
