BUDAPEST
INTERNATIONAL ART SHOW
TERAVARNA is proud to co-sponsor the artBIAS II at the Golden Duck Gallery
Up to eighty artists will be selected to exhibit their art
at the Golden Duck Gallery in Budapest.
After our first successful Budapest International Art Show, or artBIAS, just last year, TERAVARNA brings artists all over the world another exciting opportunity to exhibit at this fast-growing contemporary art fair. With their Grand Opening in June 2024, this exhibition brings artists the promise of their art being featured in the heart of downtown Budapest, by the banks of the River Danube and just a short walk from the iconic Hungarian Parliament Building.
Jump into this endeavor to integrate your art into the booming contemporary art scene in Europe. If selected, you'll have a unique opportunity to hone your skills in the picturesque heart of Europe, network with other artistic souls, and find yourself at home away from home in a place that sharpens your talent and appreciation of art, all while increasing your global exposure.
Artists are invited to participate in
artBIAS II
within the thriving art scene in the heart of Europe.

The 2nd Budapest International Art Show is a one-of-a-kind exhibition at the Golden Duck Gallery, in downtown Budapest, Hungary. Due to the high foot traffic of visitors during the early European summer months, this timeframe was especially chosen to maximize sales and exposure for our participant artists. More than taking part in the month-long exhibition, the artists will be promoted extensively in local news outlets, TV and media channels, and prize-giving event ceremonies.
All winning artists will be provided with Certificates of Recognition.

If you'd like to enter more than 10 artworks for consideration, please go back to fill in your details and submit again.
Although not required, it is strongly recommended that multiple artworks are submitted in order to provide a clear and cohesive understanding of the artist's portfolio in a physical art gallery setting. The jury will look at the entire body of work in a holistic manner.
Winners also have the opportunity for art residencies in Europe as a follow-up to this exhibition. This is a great prospect for both emerging and established artists who would like to prominently feature their work in the international arena.
Please note that the size of any artwork being displayed at this exhibition, with frame (if any), cannot exceed 40 in (about 1 m) in width and 60 in (about 1.5 m) in height.
Artworks painted on other materials than stretched canvas will need to be framed, because they cannot be exhibited without a frame. We can frame them in Budapest for a nominal framing fee.
Shipping and insurance of all artworks are the artist's responsibility. Detailed instructions will be provided to winners shortly after winner selection. The instructions will contain information on how to send the artworks lawfully through Hungarian customs so that artists are not taxed immediately on import. Artists may choose to ship their artworks either in stretched or unstretched condition; if they are shipped unstretched, however, a nominal stretching fee will apply depending on the size of the canvas. All packing and labelling instructions will also be provided to the artists.
Please be prepared to provide the net price you want to get for your artworks. The selling price will be determined by Golden Duck Gallery after add commission and taxes.
artBIAS does not have any other associated gallery fees.
