AMRITA Summer Art Camp
Explore the timeless language of painting where the banks of the Danube meet the inspired art of the past – in Zebegény, one of Hungary’s most picturesque locations!
Join us for an unforgettable experience, where exciting art courses, workshops, and a vibrant community await you!
Experience what it’s like to create in the heart of Zebegény, surrounded by a scenic landscape, while following the artistic philosophy of Amrita Sher-Gil, an Indian-Hungarian painter. Her life’s work and philosophy will serve as inspiration for this camp, which aims to combine traditional techniques with a modern perspective.
The Amrita Sher-Gil Art Camp offers participants an exclusive opportunity for high-level art education and holistic learning.
The focus will be on classical drawing and painting techniques, providing practical training in the art of representational painting, plein air, and figure drawing.
During the program, participants can not only deepen their technical skills but also draw inspiration from the beauty of the rich Zebegény landscape. The Danube and nature will offer fresh perspectives for their artworks.
In addition to painting courses, spiritual enrichment plays a key role in the camp. Daily morning yoga sessions and crystal bowl sound meditations in nature will help participants find inner harmony and strengthen their connection with nature.
Our program also includes various interesting workshops, such as traditional Dúcs printing techniques for textile painting, or optional activities like kayaking on the Danube.
The goal of the Amrita Sher-Gil Art Camp is to ensure that participants return home not only enriched in their artistic techniques but also with meaningful experiences that align with the harmony of nature and art.
If you can only join for a few days, we warmly welcome you, don’t hesitate!
