The study introduces the notion of Participatory Art and is looking for examples in the contemporary visual artscene in Hungary. Participatory art projects are not common in the Hungarian visual art scene. The art scene is not receptive to self-restricting artistic activity and autonomy. The study presents some projects that deal with communities and can therefore be identified as community or participatory art projects. These projects were created for various contests: the first was put on by the Ludwig Museum in Budapest, the second by the Ministry of Economy and Transport in 2003, and the last by the Hungarian Art Council's public art contests in 2008 and 2009.
