FOUNDER
Maria Vega stands at the forefront of the contemporary art world as a distinguished curator, gallerist, and the innovative mind behind Ministry of Nomads and the Mon Art Foundation. With a rich academic background in art and journalism, Vega has skillfully woven her profound insights into the arts with a passion for fostering creative dialogues and collaborations.
Her journey into the art world was markedly influenced by her extensive travels, where the vibrant tapestry of global cultures and artistic expressions deepened her commitment to using art as a platform for dialogue and exploration. In 2008, this vision took form with the inception of Ministry of Nomads. Based in London, with connections stretching from different global places, Ministry of Nomads emerged as a unique blend of commercial, educational, and philanthropic endeavors, dedicated to championing the voices of both emerging and established artists and engaging collectors in meaningful ways.
Ministry of Nomads has curated an array of exhibitions, performances, and discussions, establishing itself as a dynamic hub for interdisciplinary collaboration. The initiative's international scope has fostered cross-cultural dialogues, enriching the London art scene with diverse perspectives and innovative artistic narratives.
Founded in 2008, Ministry of Nomads is a boutique art gallery and advisory based in London, UK; representing emerging and established contemporary talents from around the world. Our approach is holistic, aiming not just to display art but to engender a deep, multifaceted understanding of contemporary artistic movements and dialogues. Ministry of Nomads stands as a beacon for those who seek to immerse themselves in the transformative power of art, offering a space where the voices of artists resonate, inspire, and provoke thought.
