We are delighted to announce a special 6-day residency with Dr. George Kordis at the newly opened International Orthodox Dialogos Center in Budapest, Hungary (officially opening in September 2026).
Set within this remarkable new center for sacred art and dialogue, participants will spend the week drawing, painting, attending lectures, and engaging in thoughtful conversation in a place deeply connected to Dr. Kordis’ artistic vision. The campus, in the heart of the Palace District, is home to the newly completed Church of the Three Hierarchs, painted by Dr. Kordis, along with several additional chapels featuring his work, offering an inspiring environment in which to study contemporary iconography.
If you are interested in attending, we invite you to complete our Pre-Registration Form (see below). Those who pre-register will be the first to receive the full program details and will be notified as soon as registration officially opens.
Beautiful on-site accommodations are available at the Dialogos Center, allowing participants to remain immersed in the residency throughout the week. The campus also features a welcoming restaurant and café, creating a comfortable and vibrant setting for shared meals, conversation, and community. For those wishing to explore further, the magnificent city of Budapest is just beyond the Center, offering one of Europe’s richest cultural and architectural experiences.
We look forward to welcoming you to Budapest in 2027 for an unforgettable week of learning, artistic practice, and fellowship with Dr. George Kordis.
