Galeri Canna was established in Jakarta in 2001 to promote Indonesian art in general. After 2004, it started to promote contemporary visual arts that just been blossoming in the region of South East Asia.
In its early development, along with the growth of the new aesthetic ideas among the artists, influenced by the global contemporary arts network, Galeri Canna has exhibited artists with interesting approach and strong aesthetic vision and using fresh visual imagery and language. The exhibition by young artists, from the unknown field and been marginalized from the mainstream, that shows unique visual artistic experiments, had been held quite often in Galeri Canna. Galeri Canna also sees the importance of art in developing a health and mature social life, so we are encouraging artists to create art work that based on the idea on tolerance and openness.
While doing the effort to sow the field for the young artists, at the same time Galeri Canna aims to promote works and ideas from the established artists in Indonesia so that they could be put in global contemporary art map. In order to gain this, Galeri Canna actively joins the art event promotions such as exhibitions and international art fairs, for example Sh Contemporary, China International Gallery Exhibition, Art Miami, Art Paris, Art Taipei and Many Others. In Indonesia, Galeri Canna also participate to build private infrastructure for the development of contemporary world.
