Art & Sip by Apollo Gallery x Time Out Market Budapest
Art Series at Time Out Market Budapest
Schedule
Once a month, we bring the Apollo Gallery’s current exhibiting artist and their work closer to the public. As part of the program series, three selected artworks can be viewed in The Vault room, directly next to the Spirit Bar, and visitors also have the opportunity to meet the artist in person during an intimate, atmosphere-rich event.
A new exhibition titled “What We Preserve, What We Pass On” opens at Apollo Gallery on February 3, 2026. The exhibition explores the less visible yet fundamental layers of artistic knowledge transfer through the relationships of three masters and three students — a process in which not techniques, but ways of seeing and thinking are passed on.
A special feature of the exhibition is that the students were selected by the masters themselves, meaning that the presented works and texts reflect not representational criteria, but the functioning of a living artistic tradition. In the upper space, the masters’ thoughts and works focus on the “why” of art, while in the lower space the students’ artworks and master–student reflections can be viewed side by side. The two spaces speak with different emphases, yet are interwoven: the masters’ works also appear among the students, and selected student works are placed alongside the masters.
Exhibiting artists:
Baksai József – Kristófy Dániel
Gaál József – Palágyi Bálint Sándor
Szurcsik József – Reining Vivien
Curator: Nagy Nikolett Colette
“What We Preserve, What We Pass On” is not only an exhibition, but a sensitive insight into the process through which heritage transforms into a personal, autonomous artistic language.
The atmosphere of the evening will be completed by a specially created, limited-edition cocktail by the Market, inspired both visually and conceptually by the artist’s works. The cocktail will be available at the Spirit Bar during the event.
