We aim to bring together the talents and efforts of students and graduates, both Czech and foreign, across undergraduate and graduate disciplines. We warmly welcome the participation of our staff and potential future students. We believe that engaging in creative activities can offer a refreshing escape from everyday worries, stress, studies, or work responsibilities.

We have long noticed on social media that students and alumni have exceptional artistic talent. Therefore, we would like to once again encourage them to present their art to the public. Accepted artwork will be posted on our website and in the fall we will hold a vote for the most successful entries, which will be used to produce a two-year calendar for a total of 105 weeks from 2025-2026.

The original artworks presented will become part of our collection and will be showcased at major social events, used for promotional materials, or gifted to distinguished visiting faculty.

Thank you for your interest and we look forward to your inspiring contributions!
