Contemporary art is far from being a waste or luxury, it should not only interest restricted audiences, its popularization is also essential. Museums and art galleries allow its diffusion and thus its accessibility to the general public. We see that contemporary artists have a great role to play, they add a touch of modernity to their creations to make them unique.
The museums and art galleries that make exhibitions
They have a great role thanks to the exhibitions they organize allowing the revelation of the artist, his value and his convictions, but also for the people who support and sponsor them. They allow the dissemination of the work whether it is for occasions intended for a limited number of people or for art exhibitions open to the public.
