Community-based organization ‘Pro Arte-Munkacs’ is a nonprofit social entity founded in Mukachevo in 2013.

Nonprofit organization ‘Pro Arte-Munkacs’ acts for social interests as a whole and it is apolitical by nature.

Our purpose is to promote and to develop the fine arts among young people, the sculptural arts in particular, to preserve old and to create new cultural centres in the Transcarpathian region, to develop rural tourism by means of creation of ‘The Sculptural way of the Transcarpathian region’ etc.

Our main objectives and areas of activity:

The president of nonprofit organization is a famous Transcarpathian sculptor Petro Matl who started the first Mukachevo International Sculptural Symposium in 1997 and it was held successfully 3 years in a row in the Mukachevo castle ‘Palanok’. This fact signified the beginning of further Sculptural symposia organized by our social entity.

Starting from 2014 with the support of local authorities, district administrations, the fund of Betlen Gabor and the Ministry of International Affairs and Foreign Economy of Hungary we organize international sculptural symposia on the territory of the Transcarpathian region in order to promote the development of rural and cultural tourism in our region.

We also consider that our task is to preserve the sculptural heritage of the Transcarpathian region and to create the favourable conditions to materialize the ideas of young sculptors giving them the opportunity to realize in material their vision of contemporary sculptural art.
