The Faculty of Art and Design will once again be holding an Open Day this autumn. During this event, visitors will have the chance to explore FUD’s studios, receive feedback on portfolios, join a guided tour at the House of Art in Ústí nad Labem, visit the workshops in the building’s basement, purchase FUD Edition books at a discount, and, importantly, learn about the application process and what studying at our faculty entails. Come and soak up the creative atmosphere of FUD!

We would like to invite you to the international exhibition Here, The Considered Line, opening on 15th September at the Interface Gallery in Recess, Ireland, with the participation of FUD UJEP assistant professors Lenka Sýkorová and Jiří Kovanda and PhD researcher Darja Lukjanenko. The exhibition is part of Clifden Arts Festival 2024. The exhibition Here, the Considered Line combines work by artists from the Altán Klamovka gallery platform in Prague and artists from Interface. It brings a dialogue between artists from Central Eastern Europe and Ireland inspired by a view of drawing, which is demonstrated as a fragile but powerfully expressive medium. Simultaneously, the exhibition is dedicated to a pause that leads to a respect for nature and an exploration of the local history of place.

The symposium offers lectures by experts and practical demonstrations by masters of the craft in unforgettable 3 days full of inspiration and talks about ceramics! Don´t miss out the Weekend Workshop, which will take place on 26-28 July 2024. Entrance is free and registration is not required.
