Sklad_ (“Depot”) is currently the only contemporary art space in Abkhazia.

Opened in autumn 2015 in Sukhum (the capital), its goal is to create a space devoted to artistic interventions, debates, screenings and workshops with the aim of fostering cultural and civic dialogue and sharing. SKLAD is an important platform for developing and showcasing work of emerging Abkhaz artists. SKLAD is also the only institution in Abkhazia that regularly organizes educational programs in the field of contemporary art.
