Alisa Contemporary Art Gallery is founded by curator and art manager Alisa Bagdonaite in 2020. In a relatively short period of time, this young curator-run gallery has managed to organise powerful debuts of artists working in sculpture, photography, painted art, and graphics, with various printing techniques and new media. Alisa's artists represent a wide range of research topics in their projects, from social criticism to cyberfeminism. All of them are united by a conceptual approach, high professional ethics and the desire to expand the boundaries of modern visual reality.
