Immerse yourself in the synergy of art, culture and Nature
The residency program is designed not only to support artistic creation but also to foster intercultural dialogue and mutual understanding through meaningful cultural exchange.
In addition to providing a conducive environment and art materials for artistic work, the program includes a variety of recreational activities and visits to culturally and historically significant locations in this region of Hungary.
Participants also have the opportunity to explore world-renowned museums and galleries in Budapest, offering a rich immersion into the country’s vibrant contemporary art scene and deep-rooted cultural heritage.
Special Focus Art Residencies
Talented visual artists are invited to apply for our special focus art residencies, which take place during specific periods announced through open calls. These calls are published on our website and shared via social media. There are no application or registration fees.
Artists are selected for the residency program based solely on artistic merit, with the selection made by curators appointed by the Art Colony. The program is fully funded by Interkulti Association through donations and external grants, so participation in any filmed residency, exhibition, or workshop is completely free for the chosen artists for the entire duration of the project.
At the moment, our art residency programs are open exclusively to citizens of the Visegrád Group (V4) and the Union for the Mediterranean countries.
Exclusive Venues
Exhibitions and special events organized by the International Art Colony are often first presented at the beautiful 300-year-old Károlyi Palace in Fehérvárcsurgó, with the kind support of the József Károlyi Foundation. The palace is located just minutes from the Art Colony.
In Budapest, past exhibitions have been hosted at Bartók 1 Gallery, located along the city’s prestigious “Gallery Boulevard” – Bartók Béla Avenue – with the support of the Sensaria Association.
Other special events have also taken place at La Prima Fashion Hotel in Budapest, thanks to the support of Mellow Mood Hotels.
