On September 2, the regional exhibition of Central Hungary for the XVI. Vándorlegény National Children's and Youth Folk Crafts Competition opened at the Nagytétényi Library (1225 Budapest, Nagytétényi út 283). In every corner of the beautifully renovated old synagogue building, young creators, specialist instructors, and family members listened to the opening ceremony.
The exhibition features 118 works by 28 individual contestants as well as creations by 3 artist groups.
After Bán György's flute performance, Ament Éva, president of the Iharos Folk Art Association, summarized the jury's criteria, followed by Süveges Antal, director of the Hagyományok Háza Network, greeting the exhibitors.
Vancsa Boglárka, national organizer of the Vándorlegény exhibitions and staff member of Hagyományok Háza, along with Süveges Antal, presented the awards. In closing, Bese Bors delighted us with bagpipe playing from Mezőkövesd.
The category winners each received a full-day workshop with a renowned master, and we thank Kamocsay Judit, Alexa László, and Martin Balázs for this!
