Sector 1 Gallery is a contemporary art gallery based in Bucharest, founded in 2017 by Andreea Stănculeanu. Since its beginning, the gallery has remained committed to supporting artists with strong, distinctive voices, while shaping a program that connects Romanian contemporary art to global conversations—without losing sight of the local context that grounds it. Situated at Combinatul Fondului Plastic, a historic hub for artistic production, the gallery has become a vital presence in Bucharest’s independent art scene. It works closely with both emerging and mid-career artists, nurturing longterm collaborations built on trust, openness, and genuine artistic freedom. At the same time, it dedicates space and visibility to artists of the Romanian neo-avant-garde, bringing overdue recognition to practices that have often remained in the shadows. More than an exhibition space, Sector 1 Gallery is a place of encounter and exchange. Through public talks, publishing initiatives, and partnerships with curators and institutions at home and abroad, the gallery reaches wider audiences and sparks meaningful dialogue. Its mission is not only to present art, but to create connections—between artists and publics, between past and present, between Romania and the world.
