A Global Stage in the Heart of Hungary, Budapest
This Artshow in Hungary will be held in one of Budapest’s most dynamic venues — from repurposed industrial spaces to contemporary galleries. The show is gaining international recognition and has been doing pretty well since the last two years of showcase. ArtBIAS not only attracts talent from Europe, but from the rarest corners of the globe, to celebrate the universality of art.
The platform is ideal to offer a window into another world with extraordinary art pieces. You’ll find brilliant works of art that respond to global conflict, climate change, migration, digital identity, and more – all that are translated through the lens of an artist, depending on their background and beliefs. The outcome is powerful, and they sometimes provoke the viewers to think and contemplate, and to engage in fascinating dialogues between cultures.
The Budapest International ArtShow isn’t just about artworks hung on the wall or installed on a pedestal — it’s about the experience, the interaction of art & artist and viewers to start a conversation of creative connection.
