OKOŠIROKO was created in 2018 as a new venue for contemporary art in the historic centre of České Budějovice on the site of an empty cartouche for a house sign on the baroque façade of a house in Široká Street. It is intended for medium-term presentations of contemporary painting. There are four exhibitions of one painting per year. The dramaturgy and production are jointly provided by the operator of Café Široko and the organizer of the Ostinato music festival, together with the curator Jiří Ptáček.
