Open Day at the f|x|r Media Labwith media artist Gábor Áfrány and graphic designer Máté Györgydeák
The f|x|r Gallery and Media Lab is an exhibition and educational space with a dual function. On the one hand, it hosts exhibitions featuring 360⁰ projections that make use of all the walls of the room. On the other hand, it has two project rooms for interactive sessions, workshops and study groups. During the Open Day, visitors can learn about how the Media Lab operates and get an insight into our workshops focusing on digital and media art education (3D printing, 3D design, AI image generation…).

Open Day at the Veszprém Visual Workshop with painter Judit Hamerli
At the sessions of the Veszprém Visual Workshop (W:I: M), participants develop their creativity, talent and personality through individual tasks carried out within a group setting. The educational space is characterised by a complex approach. Members of the community interpret and practise fine art and visual expression in a broad and open-ended way. During the Open Day, visitors can learn about the work of the Veszprém Visual Workshop and take part in the current art session.
Wednesday, 23 September, 17:00–19:00

Generations Together – BotanicArt – Oasis Gastro Club
St Michael’s Day marks an important turning point in the agricultural year: the time of the autumn reckoning and harvest, and a traditional celebration for shepherds. During our session, we will evoke traditional shepherds’ dishes prepared in a cauldron, such as shepherd’s egg barley.
The period around St Michael’s Day was also traditionally the season for autumn weddings, when richer and more special dishes were served at communal celebrations. We will learn about the Hungarian term “kisfarsang” (Little Carnival), referring to this period of autumn festivities.
St Michael’s Day is therefore not merely a calendar milestone, but also a meeting point for autumn flavours and communal celebrations.

Exhibition visit and creative workshop at Bertalan Varga’s Interludium exhibition
The painter’s works explore the boundaries of perception and the possibilities of movement and change through subtle variations in colour and form. One of the main sections of the exhibition consists of the series entitled “Random Structures”, which has been created since 2013 and uses grids, diagonals and geometric forms to present metaphors of perception. During our programme, we will explore together the colourful and fascinating world of non-figurative painting.

Opening of Rudolf Pacsika’s solo exhibition
In autumn 2026, the Csikász Gallery of the House of Arts Veszprém will host a solo exhibition by Rudolf Pacsika, presenting the multifaceted artistic practice of the artist, who lives in Szentendre. His oeuvre combines the media of sculpture, photography, video, animation, installation, objects and drawing, with experimentation and open-minded thinking at its core. The exhibition is based on a dialogue between earlier and new works, activating the viewer through playful, absurd and critical approaches.
