Summer Academy Budapest is open to applications by artists, art students, and art historians, as well as those wishing to acquaint themselves with various art media. The program series aims to accommodate the creative needs of its participants, and - through its courses at various levels - to contribute to their artistic, theoretical and practical development.

As a unique feature of the Summer Academy Budapest, the courses provide an opportunity for experimental work conducted in the newest media, for acquiring a professional skill set in working with traditional media, and for gaining insight into older periods of art history.
