Hungarian Visual Artists of Canada (HuVAC) is celebrating fifteen years of creating art with a book launch this next Sunday December 21.
The book is an album of works by more than fifty artists produced over the last decade and a half.
HuVAC consists of a group of artists who joined together to promote their work, interest and participation in contemporary visual arts, to encourage each other and to hold exhibitions in Canada and abroad. Among the members are painters, sculptors and photographers who work in various media. Some are professionals who make their living from their art; others have occupations unrelated to art and for them, it is solely an activity of love. For all of them, the brush, the chisel or the camera are means to express their ideas and feelings or to record their unique personal observations.
HuVAC artists believe that art builds bridges between people, generations and nationalities. The beginning of HuVAC was the millennium celebration of the foundation of the state of Hungary in the year 2000. As part of a series of events held in Toronto area, thirty artists of Hungarian background staged three successful exhibitions, two in Toronto and region and one in Budapest.
