The Art into Znojmo project emerged in the spring of 2012 from the need to integrate the town of Znojmo into the context of contemporary art. The basic idea was to bring current visual art to the city, significantly contribute to cultural development, capture the public's interest, and unite the inhabitants of this historic town in a collective interest in art. The desire to establish a contemporary art gallery and a space for public education in the field of culture in Znojmo has existed for much longer than the Art into Znojmo project itself. We are thrilled that we managed to move beyond the dreaming and planning phase to reach our desired goal and finally bring our visions to life. The space was designed by the architectural studio ORA.

The Story of the Phone Booth
Creating a contemporary sculpture in Znojmo was one of the main goals that the Art into Znojmo project set for itself back in 2012. At that time, the location and timing were not determined. In 2017, during the first inspection of the building that now houses our gallery, we were immediately captivated by a phone booth that inappropriately stood in front of the main entrance. Not only did it obstruct the future gallery, but it also significantly hindered pedestrians and cyclists, worsened the visibility of the intersection, not to mention its dilapidated condition. Alongside the establishment of GaP, options for the phone booth were explored. Soon, the idea emerged to turn it into an artifact.
