We are priviliged that several incredible down-to-earth and head in the clouds loving artists live and work among us in Sárospatak and the wider region – many of them members of the group Patak csoport. Active in their social consciencsce and community building around performances and exhibition openings in Sárospatak over the last 20, 30, 40, 50 years. Also two enormous murals, wall art on a huge, brave scale one a nursery, one on a block residential flats in the town centre.
