This year’s edition, taking place from September 26-29 at the stunning Bálna Event Centre, is going international with 12 highly renowned European galleries joining the lineup alongside Hungary’s finest. It’s a fantastic opportunity to see where contemporary art in Hungary and Europe is heading, and to discover the most sought-after artists of the moment.
