Yay Gallery opened in September 2012 as an addition to the broader initiative conceived by YARAT! Contemporary Art Space in order to support and promote the development of Azerbaijani contemporary art both on a national and international level. The gallery is commercial but not-for-profit purposes. All potential revenue from the art sales is to be channeled into supporting YARAT! and the artists.
The gallery is located in the heart of the Old City and the beautiful renovated building seamlessly blends with the surrounding ancient walls. The premises include two smaller exhibition spaces on the main floor and the principal display area on the second floor, as well as the rooftop with stunning views of the city where open air events are to be held in the summer.
The gallery`s artistic agenda is focused on showing the most talented and promising young artists as well as more established artists from Azerbaijan and abroad. Beyond its immediate artistic program, the gallery intends to regularly host lectures, readings, film screenings and workshops conducted by the artists with the goal of becoming a platform for the exchange of ideas and experiences between the artists and the wider public.
