"Expo-park Exhibition projects" company has pleasure in inviting you to take part in the ART MOSCOW fair, which has been taking place for 5 years in the Moscow Central House of Artists.
Expo-park Exhibition projects is one of the oldest and most respected independent exhibition companies on the Russian market. Since 1992 we have been working in fair organization, in developing new concepts and providing a whole range of exhibition services. Currently, we carry out 15 annual specialized exhibitions and fairs, 4 of them in collaboration with Messe Frankfurt.
Each of our exhibition projects is unique and to a great degree, experimental. We do what has been never done in
Russia before. All our projects are extremely sophisticated; as they have both a cultural and an educational orientation,
they form the structural basis for the markets we work with. Expo-parks reputation and experience guarantees all of our
fairs the status of an important cultural event. Among our projects are art exhibitions devoted to old and contemporary
art, architecture and design. We are the legal partners of the Messe Frankfurt, Sothbeys, European Galleries of Art Forum
and other famous foreign companies.
Since 1996 with the support of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation and the Moscow City Hall Cultural Committee we have been organizing the International Art Fair ART MOSCOW. 2002 the Fair takes place from 23 to 28 April and brings together more than 30 galleries from Russia and other countries of the former Soviet Union, as well as
Germany, Austria, France and Sweden.
Statistics reveal the success of the fair. Sales increased by 38 % between 2000 and 2001, although the number of
members remained the same. A questionnaire handed out to all visitors showed that 13% of them came to the Fair in
order to buy contemporary art. At the last Fair only 4% of the respondents declared their wish to purchase pieces of art.
The Regional Public Foundation of Art Projects Support, which has been in existence since 1998, is responsible for
beneficent purchasing works of art for regional museums.
International participants of ART MOSCOW consider the Fair to be an excellent opportunity to promote contemporary art
in the Russian market. Our five-year experience has shown that 80% of the foreign galleries evaluated the business
opportunities of the Fair and the quality of the technical services as good and very good.
A high-quality service and special conditions for participants are ART MOSCOWs priorities. Now we are trying to organize
favorable customs procedures to facilitate the buying and selling of works of art for participants of the Fair.
If you wish to participate in ART MOSCOW, which will take place April 23-28 in the Moscow Central House of Artists, one of
our most popular exhibition complexes, you are cordially invited to submit an application form.
This year we would like to organize a huge non-commercial program. In frame of the Fair many international exhibition

contemporary art exhibition Ostensive (curator Paula Boettcher); International exhibition Conversation. A
