Open Call 2026 results

We’re excited to announce the results of the 2026 Open Call for the exhibition program at Pragovka Gallery. A total of 223 projects were submitted, representing a wide range of artistic approaches and themes. The selection committee evaluated the submissions with respect to the curatorial theme of the upcoming season — Mutual Benefits. After careful consideration, the committee selected seven exhibition projects, complemented by two proposals from artists working in Pragovka’s studio spaces.

The jury consisted of Vladimír Merta, Veronika Přikrylová, Pavel Tichoň, Kristýna Řeháčková, Tereza Záchová, Daniela Šiandorová, Šárka Basjuk Koudelová, and Kaja Jurčišinová. The decision-making process was challenging due to the high number and strong quality of submissions, as well as the broad spectrum of artistic perspectives.
