„Basic art schools are the roots of our culture, of our love for art. On a global scale, they are a unique educational system that must be cherished, developed, and supported.“

About us

Basic art schools play a key role in the field of art education and the shaping of young talents.

The mission of the Magdalena Kožená Foundation is to systematically support and strategically build the prestigious status of elementary art schools (ZUŠ) as a unique system of modern arts education. The Foundation promotes schools’ extracurricular activities, talent development, collaboration between institutions, and the cultivation of social sensitivity in the youngest generation through art.

The Foundation’s work begins where the possibilities of individual schools end. Since its establishment in 2016, it has organized the nationwide ZUŠ Open festival in cooperation with elementary art schools. What began as a spontaneous happening has evolved into a respected cultural and educational event, now ranking among the largest interdisciplinary festivals in the Czech Republic. Under the ZUŠ Open brand, additional projects are carried out both within the country and abroad.

The Foundation also runs scholarship programs and initiatives that connect various artistic disciplines and integrate arts education with real-world practice. It organizes benefit art events and actively contributes to the development of arts education for the benefit of society as a whole.
