The inspiration behind his whole initiative was to combine talent and outreach. The exhibition brought together works by three highly talented independent artists - Emőke Vajda, Tímea Csandly-Jakab and Gabriella Vas. The purchase of the works does not only support the artists' careers: 50% of the proceeds from the sale will be donated to the Snétberger Music Talent Centre.
I'm Beatrix Jakab, founder of CoolturArt and a qualified contemporary art curator. I finished my curatorial studies in October 2025 with excellent results at the Skvot International School
As my first major curatorial project, I dreamed up and implemented the Advent Fundraising Exhibition on 30 November 2025 in collaboration with the University of Debrecen's Faculty of Music, which turned out to be a very successful and memorable event. To our great honour, the Vice President of VOSZ Hajdú-Bihar County, Mr. Sándor Gulyás, represented the professional and human values of the event at the opening ceremony.
My curatorial work was again guided by what has been the driving force behind my whole initiative: combining talent and outreach.
In this exhibition I have brought together the works of three very talented independent artists - Emőke Vajda, Tímea Csandly-Jakab and Gabriella Vas. The purchase of the works not only supports the artists' careers: 50% of the proceeds from the sale will be donated to the Snétberger Music Talent Centre
I do not charge a curatorial fee because this project is a matter of the heart for me.
My aim is to create real value: to build a bridge between the visual arts and young musical talent.
The works are available to all interested parties, at prices based on donor and artist prices. Purchases are made from me, with an invoice and a correct account to the artists and the Snétberger Centre. QR codes in the newsletter will take you directly to my website and to a short personal introduction of each artist.
I am grateful for any support that brings this initiative closer to providing real, tangible help to both artists and musical talent.
Thank you for being part of this noble initiative, and for joining us in helping young talent on their journey.
Yours sincerely:

For more than a decade, the Snétberger Music Talent Centre has been working to give talented young people from difficult backgrounds a real chance to flourish. A

music academies, conservatories or professional music schools. The programme is a workshop, a community and an inspiring professional home - which has become a launch pad for many national and internationally successful musicians.
Painter Emőke Vajda creates her work on the peaceful, green hilltop of Felsőboldogfalva, in the „middle of the Round Forest”. Her studio itself is an island of harmony, where the beautiful surroundings and family life inspire her painting.
I create special paintings, jewellery boxes and ornaments - each one is unique, personalised and tailored to your needs and ideas. I prefer to use 3D effects and subtle embellishments, and I work in a variety of styles, from modern simplicity to vintage and the mandala world.
I've been drawing and painting since I was a child, but it's only in recent years that I've really started to take it seriously, when I realised that it's not just a hobby - it's a vocation. Through my paintings I want to convey value, harmony and beauty. Early in my career, I was greatly influenced by the painter Árpád Bényi, who inspired me with his work and personal guidance.
