The world around us is turbulent. The high fuel prices, tariffs, closing borders and other restrictions make the life of every artist extremely difficult. It is very hard and expensive to build an international presence in the world of art nowadays.

At the Golden Duck Gallery we believe we do not have to pay the price of it.

Spectrum Open Call & Digital Exhibition with
concept
The Spectrum Open Call has a broad topic for the art submitted. In the exhibition, we would like to present artworks with interesting COLOR in them. We accept any concept or idea, just get creative!
Don't get nervous! Having a topic doesn't mean that there should be just one big dot of color! Get creative, as we do! We accept any style of art, from hyperrealistic to abstract. Just make sure that the colors have a logic in them, for example, you can use unusual color combinations, limited color palettes or utilize any other exciting idea!

Citygalleryvienna
by publicartists
We believe that there is room in every household for a unique piece by a living artist and that the inhibitions that prevent people from visiting galleries regularly must disappear.
That's why we work professionally but sympathetically; enthusiastically and always with a friendly wink. We are artists ourselves and have worked in management for decades. That's why we know exactly what it takes to put "our" artists in the spotlight and bring art to the people.
The CITYgalleryVIENNA is probably the most innovative concept in the Austrian art scene!
On an area of 330m2 and a room height of 4 metres, we show art by unknown and well-known artists in an extraordinary ambience at fair prices. The more than 300 exhibits and up to 50 creative artists change at least every fortnight.
Golden Duck Gallery
Located in the vibrant downtown of Budapest just 250 meters from the Danube, SORS Gallery provides tailored exhibition services to artists from around the globe. SORS Gallery is also ccommitted to creating a great art educational experience for its visitors.
Starting its vibrant artistic journey in October 2022, the Golden Duck Gallery is committed to create a seamless exhibition experience for the artists from all over the world.
The Golden Duck Gallery organized a bunch of shows both in Europe and the USA on multiple occassions, showing its commitment to find new exposure for the great artists.
