The SCHULE Cultural Center was founded in July 2022 in the building of a former German school in the Orlické Mountains, which had long served as a place for education, community gatherings, and later as the village’s cultural center. We decided to build on the potential of this site and establish a center focused on contemporary cultural and educational activities. The center’s program connects local social and cultural themes with the work of contemporary artists active on both the Czech and international scenes. Our aim is to create a space for vibrant contemporary culture and community—both physically and online. To this end, we organize discussions, exhibitions, workshops, performances, and short-term residencies, inviting specialists in the field as well as both interested and wider audiences.
