In this context the major role of the artists is to promote through art cultural diversity and preserve common values. Intercultural dialogue through art is an important instrument. Art is not a means - art is a space in which everything is possible, in which different times, subjects and objects, sometimes divergent, coexist. And not just coexist, but communicate and create values. Through art, culture, tolerance, initiating a dialogue among nations, among various artistic expressions, a real dialog among real people. Culture communicates in the language of heart, which is understood by everybody. For artists, communication is essential – both with the audience – the art consumer, and with
representatives of national and international art<br>groups. <br><br>While HMC does not provide funding for residencies, we are helping to facilitate the creation of programs and support the costs of the exhibitions.<br><br>For application form or questions please write to:<br>Beata Veszely: veszelyb@gmail.com or<br>Beata Szechy: bszechy@yahoo.com<br><br>www.hungarian-multicultural-center.com<p>
