Gallery of artistic ceramics

International ceramics symposia have been held on the grounds of Park Hotel Tartuf since 1999. They were founded by Jozef Vyskoč (Ekostavby Nitra) and the academic sculptor Ilja Holešovský.

Across eight editions, more than 50 artists from 22 countries have taken part. Their works now form a permanent outdoor exhibition set throughout the park and the manor.

Pairing contemporary global ceramic trends with a historic neoclassical manor makes the gallery a place where, in the organisers' words, visitors forget their everyday cares.

“These are works that present art in a material at once durable and fragile.”
