The Concept
The OpenArt-Gallery is aimed at all contemporary artists.
We provide an empty gallery space with the necessary equipment.
You run, design and manage your exhibition yourself, you determine the opening hours and organise any vernissages and finissages and are responsible for advertising (sending out invitations, notifying the press, etc.).
Your exhibition will be publicised with pictures and text on our website.
We send a newsletter to our subscribers and publicise the event on Instagram and Facebook.
