Works created in the art camp will be on display at the exhibition in the Orthodox Synagogue of Pásti Street. For the second time, an art camp was organised by the Jewish Communities and Organisations of Central and Eastern Europe to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Holocaust. “The Debrecen Jewish Quarter is one of the most dynamically developing cultural and religious sacred spaces in the country today. Its role in the culture of Debrecen is indisputable,” says the Debrecen Jewish Community in a statement. Against this background, a new initiative has been announced,  the Debrecen Jewish Quarter Artists' and Artists' Camp will be organised for the first time by the association. The event is by invitation only. Among the artists there are artists from Debrecen, from other parts of the country and from abroad, who are nationally and internationally renowned. During the camp, they not only get to know the Jewish Quarter of Debrecen, but also gain a deep knowledge of Jewish life in the region by visiting local sacred spaces, with the undisguised aim of inspiring them to create. The works produced during the camp will be on display in an exhibition at the Orthodox Synagogue on Pásti Street. […]

The new exhibition of the Museum of the Reformed College of Debrecen was opened under the title “Golden Glass to the form of Debrecen” on the 21st of June. The exhibition includes masterpieces by three members of the Büttösi family. In the 18th century, István Büttösi, a master jeweller, and his two sons György and István also worked for the church.  The ornate chalices and bread bowls are not decorations, but are still used for worship and communion. The unique and priceless 300-year-old creations of the Büttös goldsmiths are on display together for the first time. “Many of the works are on display in churches. Here, too, about forty objects come from forty congregations, and these congregations use these beautiful, centuries-old objects. They don't see them as artistic treasures, but as an instrument linked to the Lord Jesus, to their Christian faith," the museum's director Dávid Csorba says.
