Through our many conversations with artists, communities, and institutions around the world, we have advocated for an alternative form of institution: one that builds relationships and social trust through collaboration and the exchange of ideas.  

We have continued to present a variety of public programs locally and globally. 

Continuing our long-standing collaboration with the BookArt Association.

I am delighted to send you our Newsletter with an overview of our activities and residencies and exhibition program.  We were pleased with last year's work and believe that 2014 will be even better.  If you would like to know more about our program, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

The 9X12, Budapest at Ferencvarosi Gallery;  Library Thoughts, Budapest, Inner Act exhibit - 2 person show at Raday Gallery, Library Thoughts 2 at the Writers Association Gallery and Library Thoughts 3 at Barabas Villa Gallery.  Now we organize the next Library Thoughts 4 exhibit at Hegyvidek Gallery for 2014.

It was a busy year.  Busy as you can see below the program.  Please read below how much we done.  Thanks all of you who helped to make it possible.

As a small, volunteer organization, we find resilience in the reciprocal exchange of time, knowledge and community, and we recognize the value of small donations.  As a partner to complex organizations, we are committed to accountability and the transparent distribution of their financial and institutional resources.  Please consider making a tax-deductible, year-end gift to support our work and take part in growing our communities. 

I wish you all the best in the new Year.  Warmly,  Beata Szechy, president
