A new and modern visual arts institute in Budapest opened in December 2013. The institute organizes national and international exhibitions; founded a prestigious photography award; and presents national and international photographers and photography workshops. Activities also include foreign study tours, public discussions, lectures, thematic film screenings, and performances, along with events of other art disciplines. Established in the centennial year of Robert Capa’s birth, the Center supports its operational, functional, and program costs from state subsidies, grants, and its own income. Our objectives are to promote world-famous Hungarian photography and to have photography recognized as an independent art genre in Hungary.
