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.
