HMC's principal focus is an international residency program to which artists from around the world are invited. The goal is to provide a supportive community with uninterrupted time to work. The residencies offer participants to interact with other artists representing a variety of cultures and backgrounds. Accepted applicants are expected to speak and understand English. Approximately 6 artists are invited for each session, 6 session per year. The residence offers shared room/bath as living quarters. Studio, room, workshop, exhibition, seminar, Artist Talk and gallery tour.

From the start, HMC was conceived as an international meeting place for artists and intellectuals, fostering a lively transatlantic exchange in literature, the visual arts, performance and multimedia.  While most of the arts programming—including the residency—takes place in Budapest, Hungary, the Dallas location continues to serve as the administrative hub, and host to exhibitions, film screenings, and offers a variety of other programming, in addition to the residency.

We plan to open our first temporary exhibition, “Tale-Book of the Street” on the outdoor ad in the first half of the last century.
Recently we have a travelling exhibition in Hungary under the title: “Soda water, a Hungarian cult drink”.
We have the first open air exhibition in Budapest on an ad pole since last July.
In February 2007 we will open an exhibition of Caffee Renaisssance
in Hungary during the last 15 years.
We have a special library of about 15000 volumes
