The Pécs Writers’ Program, which is located in the city of Pécs in southwestern Hungary, was launched in 2007. The program is a familiar solution used the world over to help cultivate and maintain relationships among people active in contemporary literature. One of the essential features of the Writers’ Residence program in Hungary is that they give the authors who spend time here a chance to familiarize themselves with the towns and cities in which they live and work, make friends and acquaintances, build ties with other authors and people in the publishing world, and develop an attachment to the country and its culture. On some level, they become “cultural ambassadors” who take knowledge of Hungary and of Hungary’s literature and culture back to their homelands and with them in their travels the world over. The relationships they develop with other authors during their time in Hungary become part of a larger international network. [Photo: official website]
The Horse and Art Research initiative is a unique residency program since 2015 and was established for those interested in combining equine knowledge and visual arts. We are looking for artists, art historians and researchers, who are interested in horse and the place of the horse in art, however we also welcome riders, who are not artists but are open for it. The short (1 or 2 weeks duration) intensive summer course include theory, lectures, talks and discussions, daily practice and lessons of horsemanship, horse archery and riding, as well as there is an opportunity to make studio based work. We plan to organize the program regularly with different research themes each year. It is our intention to offer the opportunities for artists with practices coming from both western and eastern traditions and to open up connections for artists, riders and researchers internationally with the possibility of developing professional collaborations. We would also like to explore points of connection between equine culture, art and sustainable development issues. [Photo: official website]

Ever since the establishment of the LuppArt Foundation in 2015 we have been striving to provide inspiration to those invested in art and artmaking. This is why we have chosen to set up our Residency Programme in the unique and picturesque landscape of Luppa Island, a small piece of land on the river Danube just a few kilometres outside Budapest. Our popular Residency Programme, held every summer, has been attracting a steady influx of artists at various stages of their professional career. The ideal conditions provided on the island together with the talent of our residents have resulted in the creation of a plethora of artworks, some of which we have acquired, thereby building our own collection. From 2018 onwards, prospective residents may gain access to the programme in two different ways: by invitation or by submitting their application online.
