Now in its ninth year, Warsaw Gallery Weekend has, in the past, been described as a show of muscle from the capital’s privately-run galleries. Designed to promote the talents of Poland’s rising and established stars, whilst offering an escape from the elitism of the capital’s big players, this year’s edition will see twenty-seven galleries fling their doors open for free with talks, events and curator tours all bolstering the program.
Aimed at everyone from aficionados to novices, it’s rightfully carved a name as Central Eastern Europe’s leading contemporary art festival. In the words of the organizers, “this is more than just an opportunity for audiences to view the latest works by prominent artists or to enlarge their collections: it’s a chance to encounter artists and curators in person, and the best time of year to start a contemporary art collection.” Pay heed.
