ABOUT
Gallery weekends have been taking place in cities in Europe and all around the world for over a decade. The goal of this yearly event is to provide an opportunity to discover the city’s art spaces, visit exhibitions, meet creators and form a lasting habit of going to galleries.

The event is now becoming a yearly tradition, bringing public attention to the broad panorama of contemporary art in the capital and encouraging visitors to find new destinations on the city’s ever-growing cultural map.
Its fourth incarnation will be held on 5-8 September, welcoming visitors at over 30 art galleries, project spaces and artist studios, where exhibition openings, meetings with creators, discussions, tours, film screenings and various other events will take place.
