Overview
A small contemporary gallery dedicated exclusively to young talents, therefore giving them a chance to achieve visibility for their own projects and ideas. We have the desire to create an open and flexible space where the layout and the kind of exhibit shall depend on each artist and his/her vision. More than a regular gallery, we hope to build a living place where artists, people passionate about art, students and simply curious minds can exchange and hang out. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP !

Your contribution would be very helpful to us if not needed.
We would need 4000$ to set up. Here is a detailed presentation of the investment needed to create our gallery.

Your contribution will help us to make this gallery a perfect place for talented yet unknown artists to showcase their work and to get one step closer to their dream !

As you can see the gallery is composed by two main spaces and an additional third small one (kitchen & toilet).

The first space will have two exhibition walls, in the middle, a table on which you can find magazines, books and catalogues dedicated to the artists exposing in the gallery. There will be a reception desk, and a library with all kinds of books about photography, architecture, art, design which will be freely available for our visitors.

The second part of the gallery is divided into 3 little spaces by two walls. It will be dedicated to a single artist in particular who will have the entire space to show his/ her work.

In order to exhibit, artists have to send us a portfolio presenting their work, but also containing a concrete personal project with an original idea. This project must count a number of artworks sufficient to fill up the gallery’s space. It will also be possible to share the exhibition space between several artists who work on a common theme.
The project must come along with a text explaining the artist’s approach and ideas. Once the project has been validated, we will, with the agreement of the artist, select the most relevant piece of work. Then we will help the artist with the installation of the exhibit (scenography, hanging …) If the artist is a photographer, we will able to assist him in the process of printing and framing.

For the artist, we will provide :

- All the communication: including flyers, social media, web content and contacting local magazines

- The organisation of an event for the launching of the exhibition; including drinks, snacks, music

- In the case of a photography exhibition: if needed, quality local printer contacts

- The possibility to accommodate him/her during his/her stay in Prague

- The production of a written and video interview of the artist that will be display on our website. The artist may then use this file for his/her own promotion.  

We will also try our best to contact other galleries and propose to them the project of the artist in order to find a new exhibition venue.

All the services listed above are supported by the gallery except the cost as far as the printing and the framing of the works. However we do have contacts with local printers and will be glad to help the artist to negotiate a reasonable price.

The duration of an exhibition will be between one and two months, depending on the artist and mostly the public’s interest.

Prices will vary and will depend on the nature of the work (photography/ screen printing/ painting, etc.). The gallery is to receive 50% of the sale price which will be fixed with the artist.

General services offered :

- Exhibition: The access to the exhibitions will be free of charge, but the option will be given to each visitor to donate the amount of money they wish, in order to support our activity

- Sales: Each piece of work exposed in room 1 of the gallery will be available to be purchased. In the second room, each piece of work will be available for sale when the exhibition is over. An online shop will be set up where you will find different pieces of work from the different artists working with us. We will also propose merchandise like postal-cards, posters and tee-shirts, also available on the website.

- Cultural bar & Library: During summer time we would like to set up a cultural bar in the first room, where students, artists and photographers can interact, exchange and work. Despite the small size of the room, we will optimise the space in an ingenious way in order to make this place comfortable, warm and welcoming. The bar will propose a menu (to be decided) that will certainly include various drinks accompanied by appetizers for the foodies. The bar will be open until 22pm during summer time. A library will be available to the public including books about architecture, photography, design and art in general.
 
- Free WiFi: Internet access will be available to the public (password secured)

- Dark Room (Available at some point in 2017): The third room (The actual kitchen) will be available for all photographers who want to develop their own work. An hourly rate will be set linked with a calendar. The gallery will only provide the basic necessary equipment.


Opening hours of the gallery :

Tuesday to Saturday - 10am to 19pm

Sunday - 14am to 20pm


Zizkov is a relatively young popular district created in the 19th century. Its picturesque look is marked by the art nouveau bourgeois architecture and its authenticity. The neighborhood, close to the city center has been experiencing a revival these last years because of the increasing number of students and artists in Prague. Today, Zizkov is considered as one of the most lively neighborhoods in town. We would like to participate to this craze by organizing various cultural events for young people and working in collaboration with local associations, shops or bars.

Nowadays social media is one of the most used ways to promote events, work and spaces like the gallery we are opening.
We will create constant hype and updates through Instagram, Facebook or Twitter to share the daily life of the gallery, and at the same time promote the artists working with us and reach out to a wider audience.
