3rd Falk Art Forum – Antique & Modern Art Festival

2007., www.funzine.hu

Falk Miksa Street is a Mecca for art collectors in Budapest, a neighborhood nexus of locations where each and every gallery has its own treasures or masterpieces, along with unique stories and history. It is an immutable street, where renaissance and modern, baroque and art nouveau harmoniously coexist.

Thus it is the most suitable milieu in Budapest to organize an antique and modern art festival, the Falk Art Forum. This event will mark the third time that the street will be blocked off at both ends from early afternoon until late into the night, allowing collectors, scenesters and anyone else to browse and mingle. After the huge success of the first and second events, certainly, it’s going to be one of the most colorful events this September.
With more than 50 participants and an array of concerts, open-air entertainment, fire jugglers, art-happenings and more, the Falk Art Forum is the largest open-air entertainment opportunity of the entire 5th district this month.

Time: September 15th, 2pm until late
Place: Falk Miksa utca, the pedestrian-friendly area from Kossuth tér to Szent István
körút
