ACAX cooperates with numerous partners to realize different international art projects. Firstly, we participate in those exhibitions, conferences, public events and other projects that will enable the strengthening of professional networks in accordance with ACAX’s vision and activities. Such networking is necessary for supporting the presence of the Hungarian contemporary art community on the various forums of the international art scene. Furthermore, we feel it is equally important to provide information to those foreign institutions and experts who would like to collaborate with Hungarian artists and curators. Sometimes just a little help or information is enough to forge the appropriate partnership, through which a successful collaboration may emerge.

THE LEOPOLD BLOOM ART AWARDsupported by the Maurice Ward GroupThe Leopold Bloom Art Award is aimed at supporting progressive contemporary visual artists in Hungary and their presence in the international art scene. In autumn 2011, the award will be granted for the first time as a result of the co-operation between the Ludwig Museum, ACAX | Agency for Contemporary Art Exchange and the Irish Maurice Ward Group. Visual artists based in Hungary can apply for the 10,000 euro award with the proposal of an international exhibition of their paintings or individual illustrations taking place in a renowned European art institution (museum, commercial or non-profit gallery) or prestigious international event (biennial, festival) of their choice. The award does not only go to support the work of the winning artist, but also helps in the successful realization of the proposed concept of the exhibition. In doing so, we hope to contribute to the more intensive involvement of contemporary Hungarian artists in the international art scene. |
