History

The gallery was founded by Catinca Tabacaru, a Romanian-born art dealer and curator, who worked as a litigation attorney and executive director of Women's Voices Now,^[3] in 2014 in the Lower East Side neighborhood of New York City.^{[4] [5] [6] [7]} Tabacaru also co-founded and served as the executive director of Women's Voices Now, an organization that encourages women's filmmaking in Muslim-majority communities.^{[8] [9] [10] [11] [12]} In 2012, she stepped down from Women's Voices Now to focus primarily on her art career, and opened her first physical space for the Catinca Tabacaru Gallery in 2014. One year later she co-founded the CTG Collective, and subsequently CTG(R), a traveling art residency program affiliated with the gallery with its inaugural installment taking place in Zimbabwe. She curated her first institutional exhibition at the National Gallery of Zimbabwe in 2015. In 2020, the gallery exhibition space moved from NYC to Bucharest, Romania, Catinca’s home town.^[13]
