Background and development
The project was initiated by Lendava sculptor Ferenc Kiraly, holder of the prestigious Hungarian Munkacsy Award, who invited artists from Croatia, Italy, Austria, Hungary and other countries. Kiraly has remained the artistic director of the colony for 25 years. Since 1996 the colony's development has been marked by Franc Gerič, the first director of the newly established Lendava-Lendva Gallery and Museum. New infrastrucutral facilities (bronze and marble workshops, earthenware stove for the works in ceramics, print workshop) have improved the working conditions for the artists and enabled them to realise more ambitious works. The variety of technical means puts Lendava colony in a unique position in Europe.
At the 2006 symposium 14 artists from Slovenia, Italy, Denmark, Germany, Hungary and Austria created new works that were later on exhibited in the Lendava/Lendva Gallery and Museum premises.
Network of international collonies
The organiser's focus is on international networking and broadening of the participants and audience circles. Since 1996 the Lendava-Lendva International Fine Arts Colony has also featured the LindArt youth fine arts colony and lately also a winter colony at Lendava Castle. The latter takes place at the end of January, when artists are invited to produce works related to various folk customs.
