The Budapest Contemporary exhibition and fair (BCT) is back, eagerly awaited by Hungary’s contemporary art scene all year round. Galleries and artists will meet the public for the third time at the end of September in Budapest.

This year, BCT will be held in a larger space than ever before, welcoming thousands of visitors with international exhibitors, guided tours, and special programs.

Budapest Contemporary burst onto the scene three years ago and immediately became one of the capital’s most important art events.

It proved that there is a huge demand for an event where galleries can present their latest collections and where professionals, collectors, and the general public can meet.

The organizers of Art and Antique, with a seven-year history, and the two-year-old Füred Art Week are bringing the four-day Budapest Contemporary back to the Hungarian capital.

“This year, the event will occupy a larger space than ever before. Nearly 40 exhibitors will present thousands of artworks at their stands, including not only paintings but also sculptures, design pieces, and other treasures.

Interest in BCT is growing not only in Hungary but also abroad, so several prestigious European galleries will be joining this year,” said chief organizer Ádám Tausz.

“The 2025 BCT will truly be diverse and will showcase the full spectrum of contemporary art from the perspectives of collectors, artists, galleries, museums, and even higher education. This year, MOME will also have its own stand, while the Ferenczy Museum of Szentendre will offer a preview of its programs.
