The Art Foundation was born from a simple idea: to share what enriches us. Over many years, the founder gathered an extensive collection of Czech fine art, which currently adorns either hard-to-access places or rests in storage. And many other collections are in the same situation. But what is a painting that no one sees? What is a story that no one tells? Is it not the purpose of art to be shared?
We have realised that keeping valuable works by Czech artists framed away in storage is like owning a library that no one is allowed to open. Many people discover the power of art only later in life, if at all. That is a shame. We therefore want our work to help change this practice.

Art can do something in today's hurried world that nothing else can. It frames a moment, compels us to stop, think, and notice details that would otherwise escape us.
The Czech visual arts scene has much to offer the world. It is naturally far broader and more varied than any single private collection. Visual art is an integral part of our Czech cultural heritage, which should enrich us spiritually. Our role is to actively contribute to that enrichment.

The Foundation therefore aims to free artworks from the emptiness of their isolation and frame them within the context of the present, where people can truly see them. We want to help young artists so that their talent and potential can develop. Above all, we will do everything we can to make art a natural part of our society's life and to change it for the better. Because when art touches a person, it teaches them to see the world in different colours.
