The mission of Jindřich Chalupecký Society is to support contemporary Czech art and to strengthen its role in Czech society and in international context. In collaboration with our partners in the Czech Republic and internationally, we organize exhibitions, public programs, residencies for artists and curators, educational and publication projects. Since 1990, the Society awards the Jindřich Chalupecký Award for visual artists up to 35 years of age.
On April 26 at 4 pm, we are opening the archive of Jindřich Chalupecký Society! The photo comes from Barbora Kleinhamplová’s performance “Hand over Heels” at Art in General, New York, 2017
