About

International Galleries Alliance (IGA) is a non-profit professional alliance between art galleries. Through monthly meetings, research and an online Summit, IGA creates new possibilities for support, offering a space for its members to access and share information, enabling collegiate dialogue and providing opportunities for mutual learning. The alliance looks to empower its members to respond to evolving virtual and physical contexts, working together to nurture creative environments that challenge dominant models and cultivate a positively plural and diverse gallery world.

New members are welcomed on a rolling basis by submitting their website for consideration by the Organizing Committee. For more details please contact:

What galleries seem to want most, is a body that represents them and a forum where they can communicate with each other.

To that end, for its second year, IGA shifted its focus to develop more opportunities for peer-to-peer conversations, through our online Café series featuring member speakers as well as invited experts. Cafés have focussed on topics such as ‘Vulnerability’, ‘Artist Divorces' and ‘Selling Video Art’.

Alongside these activities, IGA gathers information on urgent industry topics and looks to strengthen relationships with existing membership associations worldwide with a view to being able to enact real change in our industry.
For its first year, IGA focused on three activities: an online Summit, members chat forum and a public-facing weekly newsletter.

In January, over 190 gallerists from across the alliance gathered online for the pilot IGA Summit. This intensive, two-day program was the first official IGA activity and was developed in collaboration with consultants Vivian Gandelsman and Fabricia Ramos of timetorethink.

In March, the alliance launched IGA Weekly; a newsletter highlighting artists handpicked by galleries from the alliance’s global membership. The newsletter was coordinated by Ordet, who created a randomised schedule. Each member appeared in the newsletter at least once. To view an archive of members weekly presentations, please click here.
