THE ARTISTIC PLAYGROUND and a LOT OF NEW AND OLD FACES TO REDISCOVER:
In Its Eleventh Edition, This PARALLEL VIENNA Art Fair, Originally Conceived As An Alternative To The "Mainstream" Viennacontemporary Fair, Adheres Faithfully To Its Established Traditions.
Just As In 2022, This Year, Alongside The Vienna Contemporary And Curated By Gallery Festival, The Fair Marks The Opening Of The Art Season, Providing An Alternative Perspective.
Spread across three pavilions and a sculpture garden within the clinic's grounds, this event offers a plethora of art to explore.
It is advisable to make multiple visits or plan for an extended stay with refreshments in hand. It's truly an extraordinary experience – a journey through the world of art.
Munchies Art Club Magazine eagerly anticipates this event every year, as it offers a unique opportunity to connect with friends, artists, and gallery owners.
However, time always seems to slip away amidst the abundance of art and artists on-site.

CELEBRATING ARTISTS' GROWTH
It was an absolute delight to witness the latest creations of artists we have previously featured.
Additionally, it was a pleasure to stumble upon the captivating works of artists we recently encountered, such as the exquisite pieces by Carlos Vergara and Christian Rothwangl.
Rade Petrasevic has been on our Artist Spotlight list from the start. However, witnessing him on Instagram, immersed in his fantastic painting, is always a treat.
It's akin to observing a puzzle come together in his artistic career, with each year adding a new piece.
Seeing this puzzle work unfold in real life at Parallel Vienna adds an even more captivating dimension.
Maximiliano Leon was among the first artists we interviewed, captivating us with his stunning contemporary paintings.
