Ria Bid is a fundraising platform operating both online and offline, dedicated to showcasing and facilitating the purchase of Georgian contemporary art. As an inclusive space, Ria Bid features works by both established and emerging Georgian artists, as well as pieces created during the foundation's residencies. The online auction is open year-round, while exclusive offline gala dinners are held bi-monthly.

Ria Bid serves as a vital tool for promoting Georgian artists and preserving their work in private or gallery collections. The proceeds from Ria Bid are used to further the foundation's mission and to advance social justice by supporting charitable organizations and medical institutions, including:

  • Palliative and Oncology Clinics for Children (Tatishvili and Iashvili Clinics).
  • Tbilisi Balneological Rehabilitation and Healing Institution, providing additional support for children recovering from sexual and psychological abuse.
  • The Autism Research and Support Foundation.
  • The Patch Adams Charity Foundation’s “Laughter Therapy” Program.

By combining art promotion with philanthropy, Ria Bid contributes to the cultural, social, and financial stability of the Ria Keburia Foundation. It enables the preservation and promotion of Georgian art, supports social justice initiatives in Georgia, and diversifies the foundation's revenue streams.
Ria Bid is more than an auction—it’s a bridge between art and impact, empowering artists while fostering a more inclusive and equitable society.
