RAD - Romanian Art Dealers - was founded in 2023 by the country’s top contemporary art galleries.
The project represents a new generation of gallerists, collectors, curators, partners and patrons dedicated to advancing the nation’s burgeoning contemporary art scene and supporting its growing prominence on the international stage.
Firmly rooted within the national scene, RAD continues to focus on local galleries, becoming the definitive meeting point for navigating the Romanian art world. It contextualizes local artists via its extensive Curatorial Summit and VIP Program which bring to Bucharest world-renowned institutions, collectors, critics and artists.
RAD is the only time and place to feel the pulse of the Romanian art scene.
