The Cemeti Art Foundation and Cemeti Art House function as two separate organisations, each with their own funding and vision. Cemeti Art House focuses on exhibitions and promotions of a selected group of artists. Cemeti Art Foundation focuses on documentation(artists files and events), information (library), exchanges and art education.
Financial support
Grants or private donations do not support the Cemeti Art House.
The money earned by selling works from the stockroom was/is just enough to cover operational costs. In some art projects, mostly when foreign artists are involved, Institutes like the Japan Foundation; Embassies, etc give a support for the artists.
