Bukia Vakhania (previously known as Gallery Artbeat) is a pioneering contemporary art gallery based in Tbilisi, Georgia, dedicated to showcasing mid-career and emerging Georgian artists. In 2026, the gallery expanded its international presence by opening a new exhibition space in the heart of Berlin, Germany.
Between 2014–2017 the gallery started its journey as a project space, a moving gallery using a shipping container for site-specific exhibitions to introduce contemporary art in peripheral locations where museums and galleries don't function. In October 2017 the gallery found its permanent home in the heart of Tbilisi and operated under the name Gallery Artbeat from 2017–2025.
Bukia Vakhania has a significant presence on the international art scene, collaborating with major institutions and museums, and participating in art fairs such as Art Basel, Frieze London, Paris Internationale, NADA Miami, ARCOmadrid, Basel Social Club, and Art Collaboration Kyoto.
Our aim is to support artists throughout their artistic journeys, foster cultural activities both locally and abroad, collaborate with international galleries and organisations and mark Georgia on an international art map.
