Founded in 2015, the Asia-Pacific Art Gallery Associations is a member based non-profit organisation that seeks to promote regional co-operation, communication exchange and synergy amongst members of art gallery associations in Asia Pacific. The Alliance has been founded by 8 of the most established and powerful Associations across the region and incorporated at its inception of individual member galleries.

 

The following summarises the governance principles and proposed structure for APAGA

• The Alliance is based upon an equal regional representation principle of self-governing Associations.

• Individual galleries will only enjoy APAGA benefits as members of each regional Association in the Alliance. Associations must bind their gallery members to adhere to reputable standards of quality, expertise and integrity according to their own code of ethics.

• The Alliance will be open to Associations that have been legally incorporated in accordance with the laws and usage of the State under whose jurisdiction they fall. They must have a minimum of 2 years operating on behalf of individual art galleries focused on promoting modern and/or contemporary visual art. Beyond the founding member Associations, acceptance of new member Associations will be voted by majority. New members will be admitted with the same rights and equal standing as the founding members.

• The organs that constitute APAGA are The Board of Directors (BoD), the Chairman and the Special Committees.
