Founded in 1982 in San Francisco, California, Michael Dunev Art Projects has, since its inception, followed an exhibition programme dedicated to an international art of conscience with profound emotional content and lasting aesthetic value that transcends fashions and trends or regional politics.

In 1999 the gallery moved to Spain, creating a centre for contemporary art in a restored 17th century house in the mediaeval village of Torroella de Montgrí, in the Catalan Empordà, where it established a lasting reputation for showing outstanding works by mid-career and established artists, both Spanish and international, offering as well, a comprehensive art advisory service.

On 1 September, 2017, after thirty-five years of hosting exhibitions, the gallery closed its doors.

“The chance to work at doing what I love best has been enriching beyond description and I am glad to have made a modest contribution to the cultural tapestry of our community.

It has been an honour to count amongst my closest friends many of those artists with whom I’ve worked during all these years and I owe a debt of gratitude to those passionate collectors whose acquisitions have kept the gallery going and whose friendship I shall forever cherish.”
