NADA Villa Warsaw 2025 - 50 galleries from 15 countries in the historic Gawroński Villa
The second edition of NADA Villa Warsaw will take place on May 22–25, 2025 at the historic Villa Gawroński at Al. Ujazdowskie 23 in Warsaw. This year's edition will bring together 50 contemporary art galleries from 15 countries, confirming the growing importance of Warsaw as a major cultural center in the region.
Following the success of the first edition, which attracted almost 11 thousand visitors, NADA Villa Warsaw returns with an even richer program. Among the participating galleries we will find both recognized institutions and independent art spaces from Europe, Asia and both Americas.
The main part consists of exhibitions prepared by galleries from all over the world – with a special focus on artistic spaces from Central and Eastern Europe. NADA Villa Warsaw will present galleries from Ljubljana (RAVNIKAR), Budapest (acb Gallery), Vilnius (Meno Niša Gallery, (AV17) Gallery) and Prague (Superpositions).
Particularly noteworthy is the presence of Scottish artist Jasleen Kaur – winner of last year's Turner Prize; her works will be shown in Warsaw by the Hollybush Gardens gallery from London.
The American scene will be represented by galleries from major art centers, including New York (SITUATIONS, Nguyen Wahed), Los Angeles (Gottopardo), Chicago (Good Weather), Minneapolis (Dreamsong) and Houston (Seven Sisters). Japanese galleries will also return - this year, three from Tokyo: Misako & Rosen, Waitingroom and Lavender Opener Chair.
It is worth noting the presence of Georgian artists represented by The Why Not Gallery, Gallery Artbeat and CH64 Gallery, whose works are created in an atmosphere of political unrest, as well as the work of Nikita Kadan (Voloshyn Gallery, Christine König Galerie), one of the most famous Ukrainian artists of the young generation.

This will be the nature of sculptures and other spatial works created especially for this purpose by Janek Simon, Xawery Wolski, Nicolas Grospierre and Tatiana Wolska.
The garden surrounding the villa will also be transformed into an exhibition space, where works by artists such as Daniel Rycharski (Gunia Nowik Gallery), Agnieszka Brzeżańska (BWA Warszawa) and Miłosz Flis (Krupa Gallery) will be displayed.
NADA Villa Warsaw 2024 / photo by Anna RawaThe Gawroński Villa, built in 1923 according to the design of Marcin Weinfeld, is not only an architectural pearl of Warsaw, but also a witness to the city's turbulent history.
Over the years, it has housed diplomatic missions from Belgium, the Netherlands, Yugoslavia, and Serbia. Thanks to the initiative of the Visteria Foundation, from April 2025, the villa has become a space dedicated to art and design, opening its interiors to the general public.
