Building a Global Art Ecosystem
In 2020, as the coronavirus pandemic forced galleries, fairs, and exhibitions in New York, Paris, Tokyo, and many other cities into lockdown, much of the art world suddenly lost access to its physical spaces. In response to this disruption, Dr. Sarker founded ART SHOW INTERNATIONAL GALLERY as an online platform where artists could continue exhibiting their work and connecting with audiences across borders.
At a time of social distancing and uncertainty, the gallery offered artists a way to remain visible, participate in juried exhibitions, and share their work with collectors, curators, and art lovers through a digital platform.
Today, rebranded as TERAVARNA, the organization has grown into an international contemporary art gallery representing artists from 129 countries through online exhibitions, juried competitions, artist features, interviews, and other visibility opportunities.
TERAVARNA has also expanded into the physical exhibition space, organizing and participating in art shows, gallery exhibitions, and fairs in major cities including New York, Paris, London, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Beyond the United States, it continues to develop collaborations with European and Asian galleries and art organizations, helping artists reach broader audiences and new markets.
Through partnerships with global art platforms such as Artsy and Artnet, TERAVARNA also works to connect artists with collectors and support meaningful sales opportunities.
In addition to exhibitions and sales channels, TERAVARNA has developed artist-focused initiatives such as studio-visit interviews, video features, and international artist spotlights. To encourage and recognize artistic excellence, the gallery has awarded more than $206,000 in cash grants and prizes to artists across its programs.
