London, June 25–28, 2026. Last week, the British capital became the epicenter of international art. The World Talent Award 2026 festival took place at the Indra Gallery and the prestigious The Shaw Theatre, bringing together artists, decorative arts masters, photographers, sculptors, and representatives of other artistic disciplines from 15 countries.
About the Project: Golden Time Talent
At the heart of the festival lies the mission of the international online competition Golden Time Talent. For many years, the project has served as a bridge for creative people, providing them with professional support and the opportunity to make themselves known on the global stage. Each participant in the exhibition is a winner of the preliminary rounds, whose skill has been confirmed by an expert jury. The World Talent Award 2026 became the culmination of their success, transforming into a unique platform for cultural diplomacy and the exchange of experience.
