At the Hungarian Museum of Trade and Tourism exhibit, the visitor can observe a special feel emerging from and influencing the art works.  There are American, Australian, Canadian, French and Taiwan artists, mostly painters, photographers, video and installation artists.
The artists who come here in 2009 bring their own world and form of expression and can enter into dialog with the others, thus gaining a new perspective of their own art too.
AIR is an international meeting point for the arts.  The summer art colonies of the HMC, which have been in operation from 1990, belong to those flourishing artist' communities that bring artists of various traditions and cultures together. 
Most of the work reveals new messages and meaning, inspired by the AIR/HMC, International Residency experience.
