The Gallery carries out a solidly planned and consistent exhibition programme – it presents and promotes the most modern art of different media (painting, sculpture, objects, photography, video art, intermedia installations, performance, etc.). The Gallery presents over 20 exhibitions annually, which are individual shows or presentations focusing on a particular problem.
The Gallery also presents the programmes of other interesting galleries. We organize avant-garde concerts, film shows and launch events for books about art. The Gallery publishes catalogues or other publications to all the presented exhibitions. Parallel to the exhibition schedule, the Gallery carries out a multi-level educational programme ‘Arsenal Playground’, curator – Magdalena Godlewska. It’s a common platform for various workshop-like projects run by artists. Its aim is to engage all those who care about self-development (parents and children, students, the youth and adults).
The programme is realized with the funds from the Minister of Culture and National Heritage. Is art necessary and why? is a series of lectures and meetings with eminent art theoreticians, critics and curators, as well as artists themselves, which the Arsenal Gallery organizes in cooperation with Stanislaw Staszic College of Public Administration in Bialystok. In cooperation with the Podlaskie Association for the Promotion of Fine Arts we have built up a contemporary art collection which has been hailed by the critics as one of the finest in Poland. The artworks of the Arsenal Gallery in Bialystok are split into two collections: "Three streams. Realism – Metaphor – Geometry” (the works from1965-1985) and "Kolekcja II" (1990-2010).
