About
Art and sport both possess the power to provoke emotions. Sport in Art presents this harmonic connection to the public and collects the most interesting works with a focus on the Czech and international art scene while simultaneously motivating artists to create work inspired by sport and movement.
We’re not the first
It may sound wild but art inspired by sport has accompanied humanity for millennia. Can you recall the perfect body of Myron’s Discobolus, the studies of racehorses by Degas or Henri Rousseau’s football match?
Sport in Art
The platform was created by athletes and avid art theoreticians who have divided the project into three major avenues.
- The magazine with an international editorial team focusing on art inspired by sport. We periodically publish journal articles about the contemporary art scene, interviews with artists and exhibition tips.
- A comprehensive curated gallery backed by specialists from the art sphere.
- The Art Grand Slam competition aims to inspire art focused on athletic performance and provide artists with an opportunity to take part in interesting projects and raise awareness of their work.
