In 1945 Adalbert Erdeli with his own hand attached a plaque with the inscription "Academy of Art" on one of the buildings in the present Voloshyna street. It has taken almost 60 years to realize the dream of the coryphaeus of the Transcarpathian art school. Transcarpathian Art Institute, founded on the base of the A. Erdeli Uzhhorod College of Arts, gained its status in 2003.
The international scientific and practical conference ”Erdeli Readings” is held every year at the beginning of May in Uzhhorod at Transcarpathian Art Institute. The aim of the conference is the scientific analysis of the theoretical and practical investigations in the field of pictorial and applied art, design and art education in Ukraine and also the mutual influences of different European cultures in this sphere. The rector of the Transcarpathian Art Institute professor Ivan Nebesnyk says that every year "Erdeli Readings" embrace a wide scale of problems: from the study of the heritage of the past to the present state of art. The conference was named after Adalbert Erdeli who was the leading figure in Transcarpathian painting and also the first art critic.
