The Alan Nekhay Foundation
is a contemporary art institution dedicated to supporting artistic practice and advancing the values of equality, sustainability, and cultural diversity within the global art context.
Founded by Alan Nekhay — a designer, collector, and specialist in visual culture — the institution builds on his interest
in how artistic languages shape social understanding and wider cultural narratives.
A core area of focus is gender equality and the amplification of women’s voices as well as other underrepresented voices within contemporary art.
Through exhibitions, research initiatives, and cross-cultural collaboration, the institution positions artistic practice as a platform for dialogue, critical reflection, and expanded ways of seeing.
