Since 2010, our specialized art world knowledge and international network have allowed us to work with public and private clients around the globe, offering services in marketing, video production, art programming, and event planning.
MONA is a production company specializing in content development for the arts and culture sector. We work with and consult museums, galleries, biennials, art fairs and others worldwide to disseminate cultural programming across a variety of digital and analog platforms. With expertise in arts journalism, video production, marketing and event management, we help organizations and individuals successfully reach a wider audience without compromising on substance or quality.
What makes us unique in the industry is the art criticism we produce ourselves.
Since 2010, we publish Berlin Art Link (BAL), an online contemporary art magazine, presenting original art writing on exhibitions and artists across the world. Combining international discourse with a local focus, the magazine also programs thought-provoking artist talks, specialist panels, exhibition and artist videos. Between MONA and BAL, we have grown a dynamic, expert team of journalists, editors, photographers, filmmakers, social media experts, curators and producers.
Today MONA works with leading institutions in North America, Europe, South Asia and the Gulf Region. Our diverse, multilingual team is able to organize productions in English, German, French, Spanish and Farsi.
Though our scope is international, we balance it with regional sensitivity. Our expanded range of clients, services and global projects, has enriched our knowledge of local audiences, concerns as well as of the nuances of different industry best practices.
Our commitment to the highest standards in cultural programming is reinforced under MONA. This passion is the foundation behind our mission to cultivate a vision of the arts that both challenges and unites.
Founders & Lead Producers
Coming from two distinct professional backgrounds, Monica Salazar and Anna Russ are the co-founders of MONA and the co-publishers of the online magazine Berlin Art Link.
Before they joined forces in 2010, Monica worked in marketing and international event planning and Anna in cultural institutions, museums and archives.
Their concept for MONA originated from a shared interest in bridging their professional experiences with their passion for contemporary art.
Hailing from Texas and now based in Berlin, Monica is an avid traveler with an expansive international network that has led to realizing projects with leading museums, galleries, artists, universities, biennials and art fairs, as well as corporate and private clients around the world.
At the same time, Anna has lived in Berlin for more than 20 years. Her extensive network and knowledge of the German capital directly contribute to MONA’s deeply rooted presence within the city and have led to significant projects with some of Berlin’s most important contemporary art spaces.
