VENUE
The Golden Duck Gallery launches the Traveller's Art Fair to celebrate affordable & decorative art.
We believe that the budget segment of art should be definitely presented, as not all the customers can pay more. But if they can buy something unique on a tight budget, than why not?
We search for small and mid-sized artworks that can be easily fitted in a modern interior, decorative and not too high in price.
Submit up to 10 artworks and exhibit your gorgeous art physically in our brilliant gallery for nearly a month in August!

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.
