At the Golden Duck Gallery, we remain committed to the constant evolution of our artists. The key to evolution for every artist is acknowledgement and exposure - this is why we do art after all. We know fighting for it is tough, but with us it is truly worth it!
The Golden Duck Gallery launches
the Ars Perpetuum Open Call to choose the best of the best for an exclusive opportunity!
In the Ars Perpetuum Open Call we choose
4 ARTISTS
to become
PERMANENT
RESIDENT ARTISTS
in a great location in the very heart of
New York City!
As a result, a stunning number of
16 artworks
shall be transported to New York City
to be permanently exposed in the Suites by NYLO exclusive locations.
Imagine your art being showcased in a luxurious office space with
high-value customers coming in for exclusive medical, beauty and cosmetological services.

of the high-class clients in New York.

Your golden art ticket
We are extremely excited to write it down - permanent art residency for 4 artists... The golden dream for so many of us, right. Do you get me right?
Let me explain!
If a person is a permanent resident artist in a venue - a commercial gallery, an art space, an office building, a rental venue - it means that his/her/their art is always displayed at this venue with an opportunity to sell it. If a sale is made, the resident artist has to place another artwork instead of the one that was bought.
If you win this art contest, you will sign a permanent contract with a high-class venue in the very heart of Manhattan.
This means:
-
No need to search for new places to exhibit further
-
Permanent and stable business connection
-
A guaranteed flow of high-value clients that will see your art day by day
-
High safety for the artworks

New York Nomad Show
Our first success in New York
In January of 2024 the Golden Duck Gallery cooperated with Tobe Roberts, the art curator of many luxurious venues in New York City to create a great 1 year long exhibition.
This is how the
New York Nomad Show
was born.
Overall, we are exhibiting
46 artworks
by
37 artists
from all over the world.
The New York Nomad show will end in April 2025. Now it can be accessed in the Nomadworks Times Square office building.
We can definitely see that New York City offers a lot of great opportunities for artists from all over the world. We would like our artists to be presented in America in the best possible way, and we will do our best to make new success stories happen.
