ROCAT 1

What does ROCAT mean?

Proof that we belong to the European cultural space. In this sense, until the end of next year, we will intensively promote more Romanian artists. We want to show Romanians that they have compatriots they can be proud of, and foreigners that Romania is a state that has evolved spectacularly, modern and cosmopolitan, but that has not lost its vein of typical Romanian art and spirituality for which we were famous in the interwar period.

Where do ROCAT events take place?

Usually, ROCAT events take place in Alexandra's Gallery, but we also target new territories, such as the embassies of the countries accredited in Bucharest or the Romanian embassies abroad.

How does a ROCAT event take place?

It all starts with a session, in which our "hunters" of artists propose names. We are usually looking for lesser known artists, but with amazing results that are worth promoting. We choose a few, from different cultural areas, talk to them and look for compatibility. Then we choose two or three, which we invite to present their creations and make themselves known to the Gallery's public. Each event is promoted on Facebook and through our newsletter and is supported, with products, by a brand of drinks. Between 50 and 100 people come to ROCAT events to talk to artists, study and admire their opera, drink something, listen to music, walk through the gallery, network… These are very beautiful evenings, not at all formal after the debut moment, when we present the protagonists .

ROCAT 4 (international)

What kind of artists can be promoted at ROCAT events?

It is mandatory to be Romanian, but it is not mandatory to be Romanian residents, we gladly promote not only Romanians from within the borders, Romanian artists established in other countries. They can be painters, sculptors, graphic artists, writers, poets, musicians, photographers, filmmakers, but also collectors of art and historical artifacts, because ROCAT promotes art in all its forms. If you know someone who deserves to be promoted, write to us at office@alexandra-s.com.
