THE VILLA PELLÉ GALLERY
A distinctive aspect of Villa Pellé’s gallery concept is its commitment to presenting both fine and applied works by esteemed Czech and international authors, including notable figures in Czech and world illustration. We not only feature the drawing and graphic work of emerging and established artists but also strive to provide a platform for new talents in contemporary art, as well as present renowned artists from fresh perspectives. While our gallery primarily focuses on drawing, graphics, and illustration, we remain open to exploring a diverse range of artistic mediums, welcoming many other interesting artists whose work intersects with illustration.
The gallery is a hub for engaging projects catered to our visitors, offering something for adults, seniors, teenagers, and children alike. Our exhibition concept is based on long-term collaborations with many esteemed curators, who play an integral role in shaping our accompanying program.
