RurArtMap

RurArtMap is the thematically focused map of art, cultural and ecological organizations, active in rural and remote areas, outside of main cultural centers, that each in its specific way intervene into its landscape, urban and social context. 

Our aim is to develop a collaborative informational portal with an interactive map. It will presents rural art activities predominantly in Central Europe. Various portals promote art in cultural centres, but no portal is informing about rural-based initiatives, essential for the cultural, social, and ecological development of regions. The aim of RurArtMap is to strengthen the cultural awareness of the countryside and create a space for cultural presentations, a platform for cooperation and activity planning which would make the art and cultural activities in rural environment more accessible. It will be English-based, with translations to various other languages.

Her uniqueness, not only in the art world, lies in her sincerity and sincere interest in students and art, in integrity that feels almost unwavering, although she is in the position of power, in the ability to inspire people, especially in times when they feel that any effort is vain. Not because she would try to convince people – with here innate charisma – about some dogmatic truth of her approach toward art and artistic creation, but because her view on art she believes in and fights for resonates with people.
They are often presented as condescending patrons of arts, who have decided to put aside a couple of their millions and contribute to public welfare and the promotion of exquisite culture. However, their seemingly good intentions should be seen with view to the context of the troubled political and economic past of our (and not only our) country. We should know how they acquired their property and what social or ecological damage they caused while amassing their fortune.
