Contemporary Art Space in Budapest, Hungary
Unfortunately, throughout January I have been receiving almost daily news about friends, visitors, and people close to the gallery testing positive for COVID. Because of this, around the middle of the month I decided that, until the situation improves, I would like to welcome only one household / virus community at a time inside the gallery.
For this reason, I kindly ask visitors to arrive by appointment only, preferably with three vaccinations—or at least a recent second dose—and to take a COVID test within two days before the visit (ideally with a negative result 🙂).
In return, I will also test myself before your scheduled visit, regardless of the cost, and while you are here, no one else will enter the gallery. This creates a calm, personal atmosphere where we can truly focus on the artworks, talk, and spend time together in a relaxed environment.
Available booking slots can currently be found from Wednesday to Friday. Mondays and Tuesdays are primarily reserved for creative work and artistic production inside the gallery space.
👉 Appointment booking is available here.
Random Sketchclub
The Random Sketchclub continues relatively steadily every Friday between 5:00 PM and 8:00 PM. The first cancelled session of the year will be January 28.
Participants are welcome under similar conditions as above: vaccination and a recent negative test are kindly requested. However, no registration is required for the drawing circle events.
If I—or someone living in the same household—test positive, updates will first be posted on the gallery’s Facebook page, so please check before arriving:

Online Artwork Purchases
You can continue to purchase contemporary artworks by the gallery’s independent artists through the online gallery platform. My own artworks are also available online.

Start Gallery Budapest was partially renovated through community support and crowdfunding. Further developments of this independent contemporary art space are still ongoing, and every contribution is deeply appreciated.
