Why doesn't Romania host major art exhibitions? A lack of insurance accounts for a large part of the answer. What is the solution?

In the absence of an art insurance market, museums and exhibition organizers in Romania face three options: turning to foreign insurers at high cost, organizing exhibitions featuring lower-value works, or foregoing large-scale exhibitions altogether, says Cătălin Guriță, a lawyer and director of the WIN for ART Foundation. The identified solutions include creating an art guarantee fund or establishing partnerships between local and foreign insurers, which would reduce costs.

Art becomes relevant when there is an ecosystem that supports the creative process, not just the result.

There is a constant tendency to evaluate art by the result. By the final object. By what can be exhibited, sold or validated in a certain context. In reality, the value of art does not begin there. It begins much earlier, in a space that is not visible to the public. In the process. In time. In trial. In uncertainty. The problem is that this is precisely the area that is, most of the time, the least supported.

When Markets Scream and Gold Winks, Art Remains the Silent Investment

With a dramatic sound and rare sensibility, Leyah is one of the distinctive voices of the new wave of modern Romanian music. Her name is synonymous with "cinematic pop," a genre that the artist brought to our country. Here, music, emotion, and visual aesthetics intertwine on a deep and personal level. Leyah transforms each song into an intense story, exploring themes such as vulnerability, inner strength, and the search for identity, in a sound universe that transcends the boundaries of conventi

The Reading Olympiad of a Nearly Blind System

We speak about education in increasingly varied terms—though, more often than not, in negative ones. I would not say this is surprising or undeserved, given that over the last decade, the share of GDP allocated to the education sector has remained below 4%, with the last five years marked by funding levels below 2.5%.

Romanian painters compared to Bitcoin. Gallery director: Collectors will storm the works of local artists in the coming years

“The value of Romanian artists’ works will increase exponentially in the next 10-15-20 years. If I had to make a comparison, I would say that investing in contemporary Romanian art today is like investing in Bitcoin 15 years ago,” says Cătălin Guriță, director of WIN Gallery, an art gallery part of WIN Alliance. What is the profile of the Romanian art collector and why it is good to invest in this instrument to hedge investments in volatile times, Cătălin Guriță tells us.
