Artany

We take immense pride in our second issue, ’Global Ismaili Artists,’ a distinctive publication focusing on creators from the Shia Imami Ismaili Muslim community. This magazine features artist statements, QR codes for artist connections, and select artworks. Feel free to contact Artany Gallery for artwork purchases. Artany Art Advisory and Gallery (AAGA) serves as a catalyst for building connections across communities and nations, exploring the diverse tapestry of material culture. Beyond aesthetics, Artany delves into the narratives and processes of Ismaili art and antiquity, providing a platform for emerging artists from multicultural backgrounds, enhancing the Ismaili artist community. Artany’s influence extends globally, guiding and promoting Ismaili artists on the international stage. The advisory branch extends expertise to art collectors, offering personalized consultations for owning contemporary and Ismaili artworks in various settings. Artany provides comprehensive services, including art market insights, exhibition support, cataloging, and collection care, with a commitment to exceeding expectations. Founder Taniya Dharani, holding a Master’s degree in Art Business from Sotheby’s Institute of Arts in London, channels her understanding of cultural identity to create a commercial and aesthetic platform for emerging Ismaili artists. The Ismaili Muslims, dispersed across 25 countries with a population of 12 to 15 million, find representation and support through Artany. Taniya’s multicultural background positions her as a bridge between Eastern and Western cultures, enabling effective communication with stakeholders worldwide. Her participation in the MA Art Business program at Sotheby’s Institute of Art reflects her commitment to aligning Artany with the modern and diverse Ismaili community. Artany’s vision, led by Taniya, transcends individual success. The team aims to nurture Ismaili artists into full-time professionals with international acclaim, while also cultivating a community of Ismaili art collectors who actively support emerging artists. Taniya’s dream of Ismaili art transcending borders is realized through Artany Art Advisory and Gallery, a testament to the profound impact of cultural appreciation, mentorship, and artistic expression on a global scale.
