Contemporary Art for Sale
30−31 May 2019, Centre for Creativity Maribor
UGM l Maribor Art Gallery, in cooperation with the Center for Creativity, at the Museum of Architecture and Design, invites you to a Contemporary art for sale event.
We have organized a two-day event, where for the first time in Slovenia important regional players in the fields of collecting, selling, and promoting contemporary visual arts will gather in one place. We invite all lovers of contemporary art, creators and experts, beginner gallerists and aspiring collectors, and those who wish to become just that to get involved in stimulating conversations and workshops featuring major domestic and international players. We will talk about the creation of private collections, the sale and purchase of works of art at international fairs and elsewhere, about the set-up and management of private galleries and festivals, and how we can communicate with different audiences about contemporary art. You are also invited to a pop-up sales exhibition of contemporary art works on paper created by well-established and promising Slovenian artists. Within two days, Art for Sale will be an excellent opportunity to learn about the rules of the unique art market!
