Their brochure states:

"Artery:

"--is an artist-run space with multiple functions of a studio, artist residency, exhibition space, store, and a snack bar.

"--is a collaborative endeavor between artists, thinkers, archivists, educators, writers, dreamers, and various creatives.

"--is engaged worldwide on contemporary issues regarding art: on its theoretical investigation and formal practice, its presence and application to the market, its impact as cultural critique and on social awareness, its expressive autonomy, its role as entertainment value, its interactive potential as platform for dialogue and change, as pool of reflection, and as an alternative to prevailing creatively restricting conditions.

"--aims to connect creative production with the realities of the market culture that we're living in today, in relation to fostering critical thinking and developing smart approaches to making and living with art.

"--intends to be a purveyor of anything tasteful, sustainable, and significant."

Artery's directors are Arvin Flores and Mai Saporsantos, who are both artists.
