Hontianske Inspirations

Hontian Inspirations is a unique event held every year at Hotel Jantár. During one week, about 10 artists from various countries gather at the hotel, creating their works inspired by the beauties and traditions of the Hont region. These artists engage in painting, sculpture, and other visual arts, with their creations deeply connected to local heritage and natural wealth. At the end of the week, an exhibition and symposium take place where visitors can admire the finished works, meet the artists, and learn more about the creative process. Hontian Inspirations is a great opportunity to explore regional culture through art and creation, and at the same time offers visitors the chance to experience a unique atmosphere that combines art and the beauties of Hont.

This year, the Hont Inspirations will take place from 24-31.8.2025. We are already looking forward to the works and great atmosphere...
