Project
Tibet Open House
We are working on opening a new Tibet culture centre using
the successfull model of centers ran by the organization „Dalajlama Trust“ that are today found in most of large cities known
as the „Tibet House“.
We are continuing on the tradition of having a good relationship with His Holiness Dalaylama and the members of the tibetian government in exile during the years 1989-2011, witch
was highly supported and connected by the former president
of Czech Republic Václav Havel and a major part of our political
representatives.
As the place of realization we have decided for the Communicational center Školská 28, that has so far worked very successfully not only in art or socializing, but has also had an
impact on the quality of interpersonal relationships. This is why
we at this moment want to create our now emerging centre in
these spaces, that will be conceptually enhanced. Due to the
history and the position of the object this center is not only
known publicly, but is also very well economically sustainable.
We are planing to open in year 2017

dramaturgy actively participated in the program of few theatre festivals (festival příští vlna . . . next wave, Czech Dance Platform festival, Malá Inventura Festival of New Theatre, and festival Apostrof).
Experimental Space Roxy/NoD produced its own multi-ge-
nre festival BE TWENTY TWO. In the framework of this festival
three foreign projects were presented (KEN MAI – Dhyana / Meditation, DO-THEATRE – Gofmaniana: Dust of Dreams and STANISLAVA CHROBÁKOVÁ REPAR – Slovenka na kvadrát).
For a long time TEATRO NoD creates a platform for the con-

TEATRO NoD—next to the genre of physical and movement theatre
(One Step Before the Fall Spitfire Company, Waiting Room Farma

Apart from the aforementioned productions presented in the framework of TEATRO NoD, the other theatre projects were premiered or performed in 2014 like Kabaret Shakespeare by Lucie

space in our program to students’ projects. We are actively
involved in Erasmus – a European project of students’ and working internships thanks to which the foreign students take part
in the management of the gallery. This year 4 internships of
the foreign students of art schools were accomplished in the
framework of this program.
In 2014, the gallery received 34 exhibition projects af-
ter an open call for submission the projects for the period
6/2015 – 6/2016. An advisory forum consisted of Mgr. A. Doc.
Pavel Mrkus, Mgr. Blanka Švédová, Mgr. Jozef Cseres and Mgr.
A. Michal Kindernay recommended 6 projects which the gallery
included into its plan for the next year.
Thanks to the four-year grant of Prague City Council given
for the years 2014–2017, much longer planning was possible
and it stabilized the program. It was reflected in a slight increase of the gallery’s visitors showing also a stable interest of
the public in the program. We try to keep the contact with the
public by the regularly up-dated website in Czech and English,
next to the facebook page, the newsletter send by e-mail, the
distribution of printed programs and the actualization of the
program of various servers. Some exhibitions and programs
we complement with documentary interviews with the artists;
it is presented on the website of Školská 28, on the Artycok.tv,

The interest of media is very regular: Czech Radio Vltava
informed about the program 5 times, Czech Television informed about it 4 times (Události v kultuře, ČT24); the programs
and exhibitions were reflected regularly by the other media
– both, the on-line (aktuálně.cz, scéna) and the printed ones
(Lidové Noviny, A2, His Voice, Ateliér, FlashArt). The reflection
on many years of the activity of Školská 28 was presented for
instance in Art & Antiques or artyčok tv.

The set of the projects that was created thanks to the help
and assistance of Linhart’s Foundation would not be that rich
or developed in the future without an important support of
numerous companies, individuals and institutions.
Linhart’s Foundation wants to thank to all the supporters,
mostly to Prague City Council, Ministry of Culture of the Czech
Republic, to the teams of Roxy/NoD and Školská 28 for their
devoted and consisted work, and also to a number of friends,
supporters and collaborators.
