The twelfth edition of Art Market Budapest – Central and Eastern Europe's leading international contemporary art fair – took place between October 6 and 9, 2022, once again at Bálna Budapest, offering visitors a particularly rich selection of art.

The eleventh Art Market Budapest took place between October 7 and 10, 2021, at a new venue, the Bálna Budapest building, offering visitors a particularly rich selection of art. Our agency has been working with the AMB fair organizing team for three years now, mainly in the coordination of the volunteer program, the promotion of the Inside Art conference, and in the areas of partner relations (business, media, educational institutions) and fundraising.
For the second time, our agency organized Gallery Weekend Budapest on the third weekend of June 2021, commissioned by and in collaboration with the Association of Contemporary Galleries. As part of the seventh GWB event series, we used contemporary art to break out of our confinement and open up the side of our personalities that helped us deepen our self-expression. Gallery Weekend Budapest once again treated art lovers and those new to art to special, free exhibitions and programs. During the three-day event, 35 gallery tours and five extra programs (guided tours by artists and curators, contemporary dance performances) awaited nearly 1,000 visitors. The exhibitions and programs featured 329 works by 51 artists in 14 leading contemporary private galleries in Budapest. It provided 29 volunteers with the opportunity to gain experience and insight into the world of galleries and the background of the organization. A new feature of the festival was that visitors could view the exhibitions and programs on Friday, i.e., for three days, as well as the pop-up exhibition entitled Openness, which was presented at the VIP opening.
In 2021, our agency participated in the 5th Night of Art Festival held between June 17 and 19 on behalf of műtárgyak.com. We recruited volunteers for the festival programs and coordinated their work during the preparation and the three days of the event. We worked with 22 volunteers, who participated in more than 50 locations and approximately 100 programs. In addition to the volunteer program, we participated in the process of finding and coordinating sponsors, as well as in the organization of press and VIP events.
