ArtsGeneral Information
We are a non-profit NGO that has been organising various cultural and community building activities both on the national and international level for three decades. We have had EU and transnational cooperation projects both as leaders and partners. The Foundation has got one or two full-time employees depending on the actual projects.Mission and Objectives
The foundation encourages smaller Hungarian and international organisations with similar motivations to strengthen the role of small art and environmentally conscious communities. Establishing formal or informal networks of such initiatives on different levels is necessary to exchange ideas and share good practices. Our organisation with its extended national, crossborder and international connections and three decades of experiences on the cultural field is able and willing to coordinate such actions.Main Projects / Activities
The Foundation's main project, the 30-year-old MEDIAWAVE Film and Music Gathering is a free spirit artistic and community-oriented festival that prefers original views independent of fashion streams reflected in films as well as in jazz, improvised, ethno and folk music performances, film, photo, music workshops and exhibitions. We tend to establish real communities and connections by announcing and giving place to different actions. The other regular activity of us is our Summer Art and Community Camp. It has been running for 25 years at different places but for years we moved to a nature conservation area, Somogyfajsz. The place has got its gift that offers us the opportunity to freely experiment with our different community and environment-conscious ideas and goals.
