Cosmopolis Art Gallery is a unique space in Romania that harmoniously combines art, community life and education in a modern, warm and inspiring setting.
The gallery brings an innovative concept to the real estate market and the art community: a multi-functional space offering art exhibitions, a home sales office, an educational centre and a venue for cultural events and community workshops.
Located in Cosmopolis Plaza, the new gallery is the first of its kind in a residential development in the country and was inaugurated at a special event attended by the artists exhibiting in Cosmopolis’ first opening, Opus Land Development and Mark Twain International School.
“We wanted to offer the Cosmopolis community more than just housing. The Art Gallery is a heartfelt project that brings art closer to the people, directly where they live and build their lives,” said Ahmet Buyukhanli, founder of Opus Land Development.
The new space is also designed to transform the way future tenants choose their homes, with a focus on inspiration, comfort and objects that can beautify any home.
“It is a new way of experiencing the home-buying process. We wanted the home sales office integrated into this art gallery to be an experience that offers future residents a broader vision of what a home means and how it can be enhanced with works of art. The Cosmopolis community is dynamic and creative, and the Art Gallery will be a permanent source of inspiration for anyone who walks through our doors,” added Gabriel Voicu, Cosmopolis’ Director of Sales and Marketing.
The gallery will host temporary exhibitions for sale in order to give visitors and residents of Cosmopolis direct access to sculpture, painting, photography, ceramics and other artworks that can also be purchased. Through this initiative, Cosmopolis supports contemporary art and aims to create links between artists and the community.
“We’re excited to bring art into the heart of a vibrant community. This is a unique opportunity for artists to exhibit their work in a residential area the size of a city, and for visitors of Cosmopolis Plaza to enjoy art while shopping or exploring options for their future home,” said Filippo Musneci, founder of Galleria 146.
The Cosmopolis Art Gallery also aims to be a venue for cultural and artistic events; a space where both community workshops and educational courses will be organised.
“It is essential for education and culture to come together and be present in the daily lives of children and families. Such a space becomes an anchor for the harmonious development of the community and a constant source of inspiration for all. The gallery will also host the admissions office of the Mark Twain International School, highlighting how the educational component complements the arts in a space dedicated to creative experiences and learning,” said Anca Vlăsceanu Macovei, founder of Mark Twain International School.
The inaugural opening of the Cosmopolis Art Gallery features sculptures and fine art prints that visitors can admire and purchase until early summer, when the current exhibits will be replaced with new artworks.
“This is the first sculpture exhibition held in a residential complex in Romania, and it is undoubtedly a defining moment for the arts. This step lays the foundation for how Romanian artists’ works should be exhibited, appreciated, and integrated into new real estate developments,” said exhibiting sculptor Ana Rus.
“Providing access to art in such spaces gives artists a rare opportunity to engage with a diverse audience and make art a part of everyday life in rapidly growing communities. This initiative marks a milestone in the collaboration between art, education, and community,” added Dragoș Sora, photographer and exhibitor.
The opening of the Art Gallery is part of a broader development plan for Cosmopolis, transforming the residential complex into a model of integrated community living, where housing, culture, and education come together to improve the lives of its residents.
