The gallery is planning to give visibility and recognition to contemporary Native American Arts and to emerging and promising artists, already well established in their community, their region or their country but not yet well known on the international scene. In this new gallery, they are offered a possibility to exhibit in a major European capital city, in the center of Paris.
Well known artists with established reputation in other artistic centers such as Santa Fe, Milan, New York, Canada, Basque country, Corsica, Eastern Europe... as well as personalities from other fields with artistic talents will exhibit at the Gallery ORENDA.

For ORENDA, the key is to create cross-cultural encounters between artists with a common ideal : opening up new visions and exchanges between cultures.
The exhibitations are organised around common themes, following in the footsteps of a long established tradition by Galerie XX Siècle.
The shows follow thematic patterns. In 2009, exhibitions were organized around seven concepts: Artists from the East who have selected Art in Paris, Lights of Mexicos, Destiny of a man...
In 2010 : "Melodies of the Mediterrenean", "Poetic Energies", "Wonderland" ... |
