Starting at 18:00
Are you interested in art? Do you want to learn about contemporary art? This lecture series with the artists and curators themselves is the perfect opportunity to take a peek under the hood of the art world, talk directly with the artists about their own work, and spend an evening in a comfortable environment. There are no limits to creativity in asking questions, because it is thanks to the attention of the audience that works of art live the life they deserve.
Peter Vaňous will present a lecture series on the presentation of contemporary artists and curators.
