from Servas International

Servas Artists was conceived in the bustling city of Budapest, during the warm days of August 2007, when Gizella Börcsök from Servas Hungary and Jean-Luc Turlure from Servas France joined forces with a visionary goal. Their aim – to establish a dynamic and diverse collective of Servas artists to foster cultural connections within the broader Servas community. This would include visual artists, painters, sculptors, photographers, filmmakers, musicians, and more, emerged from this collaboration. At its core, Servas Artists is dedicated to linking like-minded Servas members, enabling them to collaborate on cultural exchanges that transcend borders and provide artistic expression directed towards a greater purpose – contributing to the advancement of global harmony. 

To further this project Servas Artists is inviting Servas members to participate in a curated art exhibition at the SICOGA 2025 conference in Dijon, France, October 3 - 8. The exhibition theme is Servas values: meeting, sharing, friendship, peace... Artists need not be registered for SICOGA to submit their artworks. 

The exhibition space has high ceilings; large works can be proposed. The hanging system is classical. Please specify any work requiring special conditions. The kakemono scroll system for pictorial works is easy to send, rolled up in a tube.

Deadline for submitting your Preregistration Form is Monday, June 2, 2025. Don't wait! You will receive your file, which will be finalized as soon as we receive it. Please note that Servas has limited financial means. The transportation and return of the works are the artist's responsibility.

This document is a first step; further information will be given as the project progresses.
