Best of Diploma 2025
Selection from the Best Diploma Works of the Hungarian University of Fine Arts
Exhibition dates: July 10 – September 07, 2025
Venue: HAB (1062 Budapest, Andrássy út 112.)
The Best of Diploma exhibition of the Hungarian University of Fine Arts (HUFA) is a highlight of the academic year for Hungary’s contemporary art scene and all those interested in young, talented artists. This traditional showcase presents the diploma works of the most outstanding recent graduates. Unusually this year, the exhibition is not hosted at HUFA, but at the HAB contemporary art centre on Andrássy Avenue.
The selection features works from the university’s long-standing departments – painting, sculpture, printmaking, and intermedia – alongside cutting-edge trends in graphic design, stage design concepts, and the unique art restoration programme, which is offered exclusively at HUFA in Hungary. Also featured is the university’s newest department, Visual Arts, where students experiment with an interdisciplinary approach.
The works of the 2025 graduating class explore themes such as the ethos of a globally traumatized generation, body image, and the search for identity. The Best of Diploma exhibition offers a candid and subjective artistic response – through the tools of contemporary art – to the images and content generated by the digital world and artificial intelligence. These students transform the experience of our idealized, virtual surroundings into works of art, while also challenging the conceptual boundaries of art itself.
The HAB venue is familiar territory for HUFA graduates. The building, formerly home to KOGART, regularly showcased the university’s students’ work through the FRESH exhibition series. In addition to the Best of Diploma exhibition, this year the HAB sculpture garden will also feature sculptural works by HUFA students.
Throughout the summer, the exhibition will be accompanied by a variety of cross-disciplinary programmes, with more information to be announced soon on the official websites and social media channels of HUFA and HAB.
