Theme

The theme of the 3rd Budapest International Art Show is ‘OPEN.’ Any subjects are welcome under this category, and all of our current themes also qualify. To maximize your chance of being selected by the jury for this art exhibition, please feel free to make any duplicate submissions from those themes as well. Artists are also given complete liberty to choose any technique of their choice. Both representational and abstract concepts, in any media, will be considered. Please note that you must be 18 years of age to participate in any of our events.

Many different kinds of visual art will be on display at the gallery, including Painting & Mixed Media, Photography & Digital, and Sculpture & 3D Installation.

Awards & Prizes

Winning artists from this open call will be invited to participate to show and sell their artworks at the 3rd Budapest Art Exhibition. There are no costs associated with the exhibition.

The 3rd 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 specially chosen to maximize sales and exposure for our participant artists. More than participating in this 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.

Deadline

The deadline for submission is April 30, 2025.

Fees

The entry fee for each artwork is $20 (non-refundable).

If you'd like to enter more than 10 artworks for consideration, please go back to fill in your details and submit them again.

Although not required, it is strongly recommended that multiple artworks are submitted 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 holistically.

Winners also have the opportunity to pursue art residencies in Europe after this exhibition. This is a great prospect for emerging and established artists who want to prominently showcase their work internationally.

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.

The artist is responsible for shipping and insuring all artworks. Detailed instructions will be provided to winners shortly after their selection. The instructions will contain information on how to send the artworks lawfully through Hungarian customs so that artists are not immediately taxed on imports. 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 labeling instructions will also be provided to the artists.

Please be prepared to provide the net price you want to get for your artwork. The selling price will be determined by Golden Duck Gallery after adding commission and taxes.

artBIAS does not have any other associated gallery fees.
