So many borders! So many limits! The humankind tends to regulate every step, every minute of life in a race for total control. Sometimes doors that we were unaware of close right in front of us!
The Golden Duck Gallery was created in 2022 to fight useless and harmful limitations. We believe that art does not respect any artificial borders, and our belief became stronger with time.
To celebrate our 3rd birthday,
we invite you to join us on the
NO LIMITS 2025
Open Call & Show between
October 1 - November 7!
The Golden Duck Gallery was founded by Catherine Varadi in October 2022 to give every artist a chance to be seen, an every art piece to be admired. We do not care about the artist's formal titles or degrees, as the sole mission of our gallery is to make art & artists more known to the general public.
The NO LIMITS Open Call gave a jump-start to a great annual tradition of the Golden Duck Gallery. For us it is not just another art show,
IT IS A
FESTIVAL
OF FREE-MINDED ART
WITHOUT BORDERS & LIMITATIONS
We do keep our traditions. The NO LIMITS Open Call never had any style, form or topic limitation, neither it does this time!

Budapest
Budapest in October offers a unique atmosphere for exhibitors. The summer crowds have thinned, but the city retains a vibrant energy. Cooler weather makes exploring the city between exhibitions enjoyable.
You'll find a mix of festivals, like the Budapest Marathon, and cultural events alongside opportunities to savor Hungarian cuisine and renowned wines. With fewer crowds, there's potential for more focused engagement with attendees, and the autumn scenery adds a touch of magic to your exhibit.

About ChristmArt 2023 Open Call
Nagyon szépen köszönjük a tegnapi kiállítást, minden tiszteletem a 3 nyelven megtartott köszöntőért, kedvességért, profizmusért és hogy a művészek támogatása mellett még jó ügyet is képviselnek a vakvezető kutyák támogatásával!
Nagyon jó érzés volt, hogy saját kutyusomat sem kellett otthon hagyni, nem tudok elég hálás lenni!

The Grand Opening Gala
Great feast of art
Meeting art should be a great & picturesque holiday, we believe. That is why we arrange Grand Opening Gala evenings for every exhibition in the Golden Duck Gallery.
It is our pleasure to ensure all our clients will get a unique opportunity to get to know the art exhibited in the gallery and to meet the artists in person. This tradition is becoming even more important with international art shows. In this case there are only few days the public can meet an artist from abroad.
Here you can see how grand openings go in our gallery.
