The open call was open to all members of the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague (AVU) community and the AVU Alumni Club. Applicants were invited to submit solo or group exhibitions, experimental formats, as well as curatorial or research projects.
We received a large number of high-quality proposals. The selection committee convened on 22 June 2026 and consisted of David Fesl, Anetta Mona Chişa, Nela Klajbanová, Noemi Purkrábková, Kryštof Rajdl, Tomáš Svoboda, and Jan Zálešák.
The committee carefully considered each proposal in relation to the Galerie AVU programme for 2027, while also taking into account the applicants’ connection to AVU and striving for diversity in terms of media, genre, age, and gender representation. Due to the limited exhibition capacity, it was unfortunately not possible to include all submitted projects.
Congratulations to all selected participants. We look forward to presenting their exhibitions at Galerie AVU in 2027.
