Events

For our first Aşyq Şeberhana, we’re setting up a long table and a 30-meter roll of paper – grab your friends, let’s get to know and draw each other together!

Lecture on American artist Richard Serra

December 6 – celebrate Aisha Galymbayeva at our Museum! Join us in Şeberhana to create your own moving qyz (girl) and jigit (boy) paper characters, inspired by Aisha Galymbayeva’s love for traditional Kazakh clothing. Dress them in beautiful Kazakh outfits and bring your creativity to life!

The Almaty Museum of Arts dedicates a day every three months to an artist from its collection. Discussions, guided tours, film screenings, and workshops provide a deeper look into the artist’s world and creative legacy.

The first artist featured in this series of events will be Aisha Galymbayeva, a pioneer of Kazakh visual art. Her paintings, depicting village life, industrial landscapes, and expressive female portraits, explore themes of everyday life and reflect the changing role of women in society.

Join us for a talk by art historian Yulia Sorokina (PhD), dedicated to one of the most iconic artists of our time - Yayoi Kusama. The
lecture will delve into Kusama’s central themes and artistic ideas, and explore her renowned Infinity Rooms, one of which is featured in the museum’s collection. The talk will be held in Russian.

During this art workshop with artist/designer Maria Rezvanova, you’ll create your own clay bas-reliefs inspired by Fernand Léger. Learn more about clay, experiment with engobes and composition, and take home a special New Year's gift for your wall!
