First of all, let me just tell you how happy I am to have a chance to write about something like this, it is unbelievable!
A group of Hungarian
artists got together in a brilliant project, and they called it simply by its
name ART FOR FREE.
The idea was born in Pécs, where Kisház (Smallhouse) -
the groups headquarters are situated. The idea behind the whole project is to
make fine art readily available for basically anyone who bothers to pick it up,
and to inspire people to actually want to own a piece of art.
Project kickoff took place at Dombos Fest
.

Three artists, Endre Kis, Róbert Gyuris (Smallhousers) with Ede Sinkovics in
addition made three sketches inspired by the local motifs. The three drawings
were procesed with different computerized methods resulting in three prints,
each printed in 100 copies. And
here is where the fun begins, when the three wizards are done with it, every
single piece becomes a unique piece of art. Each print is colored by all three
of them, without previous plan or agreement. You can check out some of the
magic they do here,
and admire how versatile the outcome is.

But this is not all. If you were not lucky
enough to visit Dombos Fest, you still have a chance of getting hold of their
art. There is a HUGE batch of 500 pieces waiting to be handed out like flyers
on Budapest’s Nyugati sqare sometimes this year.
To add to that, people parked on
a one of the parking lots in Pécs were surprised a few days ago by Smallhousers Róbert Gyuris - Endre Kis - András Pinczehelyi and art drawings on
their windshields.

A little birdie tells me they are planning
something yet unseen before...ART FOR FREE delivery with your pizza. I don’t
have the details yet, othewise I would be having pizza every day, in hope of
getting one of their pieces.
And if you weren't lucky to be on Dombos Fest,
you don't live in Pécs, or
you do but you just weren't parked at that particular parking lot
yesterday, you won't be in Budapest by the end of this yer to grab hold of one of
the 500 prints on Nyugati square, and you absolutely despize pizza (is there
such a person anyway?), there is still a chance for you to get ART FOR FREE.
How? The cool people of Kisház offered to give away 20 of
their prints to readers of BagofPretty, wherever they are. All you need to do is:
