Here at Inspirationist, we love to promote and support up and coming artists, as well people and institutions who, like us, encourage young and emerging talents. That is why we’ve teamed up with B1 – Centre for contemporary design, in Prague, Czech Republic in promoting their summer event, ‘Brunch with Designers’ which offers young designers from all around Europe a chance to spent a week in Prague, exhibit their work for FREE and sell their designs.
Week 17-22 of July will be dedicated to Romanian designers, sponsored by Romanian Cultural Institute.
WHAT IS IT ABOUT ?
B1 provides a few times per year a stimulating platform for promoting young designers, by involving them in innovative corporate projects, inviting them for new design proposals or exhibiting their concepts and visions.
Every week a new group of designers have the opportunity to exhibit – all according to their ideas. B1 Gallery has a unique atmosphere in which the carefully selected collections get an extra glance. Prague is one of the most popular places to visit in Europe. B1 will promote this program also to Prague tourists. Visitors are invited to come for a brunch. During these brunches the visitor has an opportunity to get a better understanding of the designers visions and ideas. Each designer can also be seen ‘on stage’ every day during a 5-15 minutes presentation.
