“Without an audience, without the presence of spectators, these jewels would not fulfil the function for which they came into being. The viewer, then, is the ultimate artist. His sight, heart, mind – fusing with and grasping with greater or lesser understanding the intent of the creator – gives them life.” — Dalí
The Narrative Space of Creation
The mission of Inflow is to elevate contemporary jewelry as a form of wearable art, emphasizing its narrative power and cultural significance.

Inflow 2025 will once again welcome visitors in two enchanting locations: Szentendre and Budapest. The artworks will be on display for five weeks, offering a captivating experience.
Discover our Szentendre venue!
The Szentendre Old Artists’ Colony is one of the most versatile and influential venues in Hungary’s modern and contemporary art scene, with a history spanning nearly a century. Szentendre is often referred to as the “City of Painters” due to the legacy of the colony, which has been continuously active since its founding in 1926. Currently, the institution operates in 12 artist studios, hosting active artistic work by some of Hungary’s most distinguished artists, many of whom have received the country’s highest state awards.
The venue primarily hosts contemporary art exhibitions, complemented by music, literature, dance, and folk art programs, as well as creative workshops.
As a key institution in Szentendre’s art scene, the Old Artists’ Colony reaches a broad audience thanks to its collaboration with the city’s cultural organizations.
One of the most significant aspects of its activities is coordinating art scholarships as a guarantee of high-quality artistic education. The grants offered by the Petőfi Cultural Agency are among the most prestigious professional recognitions for emerging artists.
The mission of the Szentendre Old Artists’ Colony, managed by the Petőfi Cultural Agency, is to foster interdisciplinary artistic connections.
“Individual Stories in Jewelry Design”
Our exhibition series celebrates the beauty of life through individual stories and experiences in jewelry design. We encourage designers to draw inspiration from their own journeys and create artistic pieces that pay homage to their lived moments, achievements, and culturaes, while envisioning the future.
Artists will be specially recognized across multiple competition categories, with many awards offering opportunities to showcase their work at prestigious international exhibitions.
The exhibition series is complemented by a conference and a professional day, exploring new directions in creative art and the distinctive convergence of individual thought.
The event aims to offer a comprehensive insight into fresh perspectives on contemporary design, explore the potential connections between current scientific discoveries and the arts, and highlight the creative processes that give meaning to this centuries-spanning dialogue.
As part of the Inflow Contemporary Jewelry Exhibition and Conference, we offer a distinctive professional program featuring participation from exhibitors and select members of the international jury. This initiative focuses on design, creativity, professional collaboration, and fostering meaningful connections within the industry.
During the workshops, the exhibited jewelry pieces serve as a starting point for developing a new, collectively conceived design concept. This artistic journey provides an exceptional opportunity to unleash creativity, deepen collaboration, and enrich professional dialogue.
