Erarta Galleries are the three galleries established in the 2010s in London (UK), Hong Kong (China) and St. Petersburg (Russia) [1] with a goal to promote contemporary art in the corresponding country and outside its borders. [2] [3] The project itself is a private institution. [4] A promotional process is based on reinvestments from sales of art pieces back into the project. [5] In 2016, two of these galleries were closed; only the gallery in St. Petersburg survived up to now.

All art pieces that are shown at the gallery are available for sale (unless they are objects that are exhibited in the museum collection). [8]
