OffCourse – the OFF-Biennale Budapest’s art education forum

May 16, 2015

Organizers: Nóra Böhler, Julianna Joó, Henriette Kovács, Zsófia László, Réka Majsai

OffCourse
• provides a forum for workshops, groups, and associations based in Budapest that approach contemporary art through various interpretive and pedagogical methods.
• serves as a meeting point where we can learn about each other’s activities, share our methods and experiences, and lay the groundwork for future collaboration.
• acts as a reference point and information hub for anyone with an interest in initiatives operating within specific areas of art and education.
And to help us find common ground, following brief presentations by the participating workshops, we invite all interested parties to join us for an informal discussion.

Venue: 2B Gallery (1092 Budapest, Ráday utca 47.)
