About

The gallery emphasizes showcasing emerging talents, particularly students and recent graduates, offering them a space to present their creative endeavors to the public.​ Recent exhibitions have highlighted the gallery's commitment to diverse artistic expressions.

"Design and Transformation: Czech Landscape" presented works inspired by the Czech environment, featuring contributions from students, alumni, and faculty, including animated documentaries and design objects that reflect the nation's cultural identity. Additionally, "UMPRUM Attack!" offered a comprehensive showcase of student projects from the academic year, providing insights into the evolving landscape of art education and creative practice.​ Through its varied programming, the UMPRUM Gallery not only exhibits art but also fosters critical discourse and experimentation, making it a vital component of Prague's contemporary art scene.
