A new online gallery, youngart, aims to connect young talent with an art-loving public, helping to promote and sell their works, and provide financial support.
The founder of youngart.hu, Dr Vera Hatházi is a lawyer who has long supported young artists. She recognised that she could best help them by connecting them with an audience happy to support young talent by purchasing their works.
This coincides with a trend in interior design, a growing demand for unique and original works of art in recent years. Many like to decorate their homes and offices with such items, but there is relatively little opportunity to access works like these at affordable prices.
With the youngart.hu online gallery, Vera has dreamed up and created a platform where you can not only access them but also choose from a collection of hundreds of pieces, and also help struggling young artists.
But the online gallery’s efforts to support young artists go far beyond providing a sales platform. It helps promote their works with PR and marketing support and launches financial support programmes.
Launching in the spring, the Youngart Porsche Fine Arts Scholarship is
the first such initiative, offering financial support over six months,
allowing artists to focus more intensively on creation.
In addition to the
scholarship, ten artists selected by the jury will have the opportunity to
present themselves at a joint exhibition organised by youngart and Porsche.
All applications are welcome by 20 April.
