The Art Foundation has been established. A new institution whose motto is a play on words: “Art Changes Me". The Foundation aims to give Czech fine art the visibility it deserves: to support its development, discover new talents and make high-quality artworks accessible to the wider public. It seeks to fill the empty spaces where art is missing: it will carry out its own exhibition projects, provide scholarships to young artists and cooperate with major cultural institutions in the Czech Republic.
The founder of the Foundation is the owner of the Kaprain investment group, art collector and patron Karel Pražák. “Fine art opens new horizons and enriches our lives in ways that cannot be measured. I would like this foundation to help as many people as possible discover the beauty and power of art, and to do so sooner than I was fortunate enough to. Because art changed my life and my view of the world too," said Karel Pražák.
