About festival

Art Week Liberec cre­ates a space for reflec­tion on cul­tur­al, social, and envi­ron­men­tal top­ics and strength­ens the rela­tion­ship between art and every­day life. As the only fes­ti­val of its kind in the Czech Repub­lic, it has been con­nect­ed with the Euro­pean Her­itage Days from the very begin­ning, tak­ing advan­tage of oppor­tu­ni­ties to include sig­nif­i­cant archi­tec­tur­al land­marks of the region in its program.

The con­tem­po­rary art fes­ti­val has been held since 2016 and is one of the most impor­tant cul­tur­al events in north­ern Bohemia. Through short-term inter­ven­tions and exhi­bi­tions, it presents cur­rent Czech and inter­na­tion­al art and opens a dis­cus­sion on impor­tant social issues. Its aim is to make con­tem­po­rary visu­al art acces­si­ble to a wider audi­ence and to encour­age civic engage­ment as well as inter­est in the future of the region. This is achieved not only through exhi­bi­tions with a clear social dimen­sion but also through a rich accom­pa­ny­ing program.

Since its incep­tion, Art Week Liberec has tak­en place at the same time as the Euro­pean Her­itage Days (EHD) and shares with them the key idea – to con­nect con­tem­po­rary art with the his­tor­i­cal mon­u­ments of the city of Liberec and, in some edi­tions, also with land­marks in near­by Zittau.

Open­ing hours are indi­cat­ed for each venue. Unless stat­ed oth­er­wise, admis­sion is free. Infor­ma­tion about exhi­bi­tions, instal­la­tions, and accom­pa­ny­ing pro­grams can be found on the web­sites artweek​liberec​.cz, ehd​-toffd​.eu, on Face­book @ARTWEEKLIBEREC, and on Insta­gram @artweek_liberec.
