An exhibition of artworks created by people with intellectual disabilities

I SEE THE WORLD DIFFERENTLY – AND THAT IS OK

This exhibition of artworks created by people with intellectual disabilities will take place at Kampa Museum for the fifth time this year.

The works were created by people with intellectual disabilities from across the Czech Republic and Slovakia as part of the art competition of the same name. A selection of 111 of the most compelling artworks will be presented at the exhibition. The aim of Everyone Can Be an Artist is to promote inclusion through art – to bring the world of people with intellectual disabilities closer to the wider public, give greater visibility to their work and encourage the artists to continue creating.

For the first time, this year’s exhibition will also be a sales exhibition. Visitors will have the opportunity not only to discover the distinctive perspectives of individual artists, but also to purchase selected works. The full amount from each sale goes directly to the artist. Sold artworks will be handed over to their new owners after the exhibition ends.

Admission is free.

The Everyone Can Be an Artist exhibition is held under the patronage of Alexandra Udženija, Deputy Mayor of the City of Prague, Terezie Radoměřská, Mayor of Prague 1, and Ondřej Kubín, Mayor of Prague 4, and with the support of the Jan and Meda Mládek Foundation – Kampa Museum and the Krystyna Pyszko Endowment Fund. The media partner is Czech Radio.

The Everyone Can Be an Artist project is organised by the Domov Sulická Endowment Fund.

Perhaps the time has come to stop emphasising what makes us different and focus more on what connects us.
