Over the decades of its existence, the Prague Spring music festival has become not only a symbol of Czech cultural identity and a key platform for international dialogue between the Czech and global music scenes, but also a space for much broader cultural and artistic exchange. In recent years, visual art has likewise found its place alongside music. 

As part of the Prague Spring Art Salon project, organised in collaboration with KODL Gallery, outstanding Czech visual artists are presented who, much like musicians, can express symbolic forms of the inner world, albeit through entirely different vehicles of expression. This year’s edition will present six unique paintings on the theme of “Spring”, created especially for this project by Pavla Malinová, Karolina Netolická, Michal Cimala, Jan Hísek, Jakub Špaňhel and Vladimír Véla. All proceeds from their sale at KODL Gallery’s spring auction, to be held on 31 May 2026, will be donated in support of the artistic projects of the Prague Spring festival.
