Contemporary art exhibition space In the heart of Győr
Monthly rotating exhibitions, artworks on display 24 hours a day, and the opportunity to bid online, with the professional support of Földváry Auction House.
Contemporary art in a place where hundreds of people pass through every day
A Hotel Garzonpláza Art & Business Hotel has created a unique art space in one of Győr’s busiest locations. Our aim is to provide a worthy platform for contemporary artists who wish not only to exhibit their works but also to sell them within a professionally supported system that reaches an engaged audience.
The hotel hosts events on a monthly basis solo or group exhibitions of contemporary visual art, where, as part of each exhibition, approximately 60 works of painting may be presented.
What makes this exhibition space so special?
Garzonpláza is not a traditional gallery, but a vibrant, constantly active, high-traffic hotel space.
The hotel With its 71 rooms, it is one of Győr’s largest four-star hotels, which is in an excellent location: right next to the Győr Plaza a the county hospital and McDonald’s It is situated in the vicinity of the junction of four districts.
The hotel is easily accessible, with a multi-storey car park nearby, and its guest base is constantly changing and diverse: business travellers, families, local residents, event guests and visitors passing through the area can all view the works on display.
The artworks can be viewed between 0 and 24 hours
One of the exhibition’s greatest advantages is that the artworks can be viewed outside of fixed opening hours.
The Garzonpláza exhibition space: Open 24 hours a day, every day of the week,
can be viewed free of charge, and he naturally mingles with the public in the hotel’s bustling communal areas.
This is a particularly valuable opportunity for artists, as their works are displayed not in a closed space, but in a lively, constantly bustling hospitality setting.
Each exhibition runs from the 15th of one month to the 15th of the following month. You may set up the exhibition from 12 noon on the 15th, and it must be dismantled by 12 noon on the 15th of the following month. Our staff will be happy to assist with both setting up and dismantling.
