GBG arts is a gallery space that has transitioned over a period of 15 years in what it is today. Three years ago, GBG moved to the new space where art previews, lectures, poetry reading and exhibitions take place regularly. There are weekly workshops led by artist Consuelo Ginnari.
Initially located inside an architectural firm, GBG Arts is directed by Gabriela Benaim Ginnari and architect Mario “Kin” Matos.
Benaim, a young art dealer with more than 15 years managing and promoting the arts in Caracas, was highly influenced to work in the same field of her parents, Venezuelan visual artists, Ricardo Benaim and Consuelo Ginnari.
Besides promoting Venezuelan contemporary and Latin America art, GBG Arts also works with local and international architectural & interior design firms giving professional recommendation in art investment for corporate and private residences.
“The first time GBG ventured into the art fair business was in 2008 at FIA Caracas focusing in Geometric Abstraction and the only piece exhibited was a MAC computer on a desk; there was no actual display of works,” says Gisele Diaz, GBG Arts Assistant.
