Földváry Artists' colony
Art meets an inspiring environment
In April 2025, we held our first event in the exclusive walls of the Földváry castle. Földváry Our Creativity Camp, which has created a unique opportunity for contemporary Hungarian artists to deepen their work in an inspiring historical environment and undisturbed creative environment.
Sixteen renowned painters from all over the country, all of them important and recognized artists of contemporary Hungarian art, participated in the camp. During the week-long artistic encounter, not only new works were created, but also a community spirit that further strengthened the quality of Hungarian art.
