ACAX cooperates with numerous partners to realize different international art projects. Firstly, we participate in those exhibitions, conferences, public events and other projects that will enable the strengthening of professional networks in accordance with ACAX’s vision and activities. Such networking is necessary for supporting the presence of the Hungarian contemporary art community on the various forums of the international art scene. Furthermore, we feel it is equally important to provide information to those foreign institutions and experts who would like to collaborate with Hungarian artists and curators. Sometimes just a little help or information is enough to forge the appropriate partnership, through which a successful collaboration may emerge.
