General Information

The HMC opened in 1990 as an artistic, educational institution.  We are invited more than 800 artists, writers, film makers who play an active part in the field of contemporary art.  During the residency period, we hold exhibitions, through creative activities, presentations, workshops, and lectures by the artists.

Mission and Objectives

The HMC set up shop in both the Texas and in Hungary, programming across borders, languages and cultures, as a sort of dual citizenship for artists’ communities.  Managing a double identity in the US and abroad reflects the HMC commitment to celebrating and understanding both the intersections and divergences between cultures, through the art, artists, and local communities.

Main Projects / Activities

From the start, HMC was conceived as an international meeting place for artists and intellectuals, fostering a lively transatlantic exchange in literature, the visual arts, performance and multimedia.  While most of the arts programming—including the residency—takes place in Budapest, Hungary, the Dallas location continues to serve as the administrative hub, and host to exhibitions, film screenings, and offers a variety of other programming, in addition to the residency.
