    Due to a private event, the Random Sketchclub scheduled for January 28 will unfortunately be cancelled.

    Furniture Painting Workshop by Eredő Creative Studio

    Creative community workshop in Budapest, Hungary

    Eredő Alkotóműhely invites everyone interested in creative design and hand-painted decoration to a special furniture painting workshop at Start Gallery Budapest.

    Using a wooden candle holder as the base object, participants will be introduced to the fundamentals of pattern design, while also receiving guidance on color selection through inspiring and unconventional creative perspectives. All materials required for the workshop will be provided. 🙂

    A relaxed and hands-on creative experience connected to the independent contemporary art and maker community in Budapest, Hungary.

  • Gallery Opening Hours

    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:

    (Visitors with appointments will naturally be contacted personally as well.)

    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.

    Community Support

    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.

    More information about supporting the gallery is available online.

  • Ágnes Tóth: 21 Paintings

    “Most of the time I think about what and how I should paint. Almost every experience or visual impression immediately makes me wonder what kind of painting it could become. These experiences do not need to be extraordinary at all—the things that inspire me most are my immediate surroundings and everyday situations, the kinds of moments that could happen to any of us at any time. In this sense, the source of my subjects feels endless.”
    — Ágnes Tóth

    One of the defining strengths of Tóth’s contemporary paintings lies in the warmth and tenderness with which she observes the surrounding world. Her works capture subtle, intimate details of everyday life—moments whose apparent banality unexpectedly create a strong sense of familiarity and emotional closeness for the viewer.
    — Angelika Fekete (Analóg Angelika)

    The exhibition is opened by Orsolya Páli.
