8-14 April 2025. we are organising a special one-week creative camp in the framework of the Földváry Creative Workshop at the beautiful and inspiring Öttevényi Földváry Castle. The aim of the event is to provide Hungary's most renowned contemporary artists with an inspiring and relaxing environment where they can create freely, while finding a supportive community during the creative process.

A total of 14 artists can participate in the camp, each of whom will have a private double room with full luxury accommodation. The artists will be provided with a relaxed creative environment, while the evenings will be filled with pleasant round-table discussions, communal dinners and music. On special request, we can provide a custom-sized painting canvas. 

In good weather, we plan to set up in the courtyard of the castle, and in bad weather in the interior of the castle. Of course, everyone is free to choose the location and the theme. We do not interfere with the artwork in any meaningful way.

We would like to ask the artists to buy the materials and tools for painting themselves, as everyone's tastes and habits are so different that we cannot help them.

Guests can of course also receive guests during their stay. However, we can only cater for guests for a fee. Artist guests are provided with full free board, breakfast, lunch and dinner, including soft drinks, coffee, wine and beer.

In the evenings, we plan spontaneous discussions, trying to provide sponsors and other interesting discussion partners. 

The works of art created at the camp will be displayed in the Földváry Gallery's summer exhibition, where visitors will be able to view them on a permanent basis, and then auctioned off at a grand auction in the autumn, starting with the artist's starting price. The artist will receive the full knockdown price achieved at the auction.

In addition, artists are invited to donate a painting, also made at the art camp, to the Földváry Castle Foundation for. This artwork will be put up for a charity auction in the spring and the proceeds will be used to recruit nurses and improve their working conditions in the operating theatre wing of Győr Hospital. Currently, half of the operating theatres in the hospital are not working due to staff shortages, leaving many patients waiting months for the necessary procedures. The aim of this programme is to help improve the situation and contribute to a more efficient running of the hospital.

The Földváry Creative Workshop is an invitation-only programme, exclusively for invited artists. We are confident that the event will not only be an enriching artistic experience, but will also contribute to supporting a noble cause.

We welcome all participants and all those who are interested in the programme!
