Previous Editions

OP_YOUNG was created in 2020 out of the need to support the local artistic community in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic. Reacting to the uneasy situation of female and male artists, we created a programme which is not based solely on financial aid, but which, through its extensive formula, has a chance to influence the revival of the Lower Silesian art scene and to include representatives of the younger generation in the area of critical and artistic discussion. As part of the OP_Young program, we awarded a total of 12 young artists and granted 7 honorable mentions and one extra-award.
