Šopa Gallery, founded in 2015 by the civic association BIIIF, is an independent chamber space focused on the presentation of contemporary visual art in Košice. It presents young and middle generation artists of the Central European scene with a focus on current social issues and trends in fine arts. The selection of individual authors is subject to an effort for an open-minded view of the contemporary art world and thus offer space for experimental, interdisciplinary or site-specific projects. Gallery shares its space with studios of residency artists within the K.A.I.R. Košice Artist in Residence project and cooperates with other organizations, art theorists and curators from Slovakia and abroad. In addition to presentation activities, through focused guided tours, “artist talks”, lectures and workshops, it focuses on the development and education of audiences in the field of contemporary visual art.

Exhibitions of this gallery are supported by Slovak Arts Council. Slovak Arts Council is the main partner of the project.
