Kuća za umetnost u Prizrenu

Mesto gde se čuva nasleđe i stvara budućnost

Pomozimo da Prizren ponovo postane mesto susreta, stvaranja i umetničkog nadahnuća.

U srcu Prizrena, u istorijskom naselju Podkaljaja, u neposrednoj blizini Prizrenske bogoslovije, želimo da stvorimo Kuću za umetnost — prostor posvećen srpskim umetnicima, njihovom stvaralaštvu i očuvanju kulturnog nasleđa Kosova i Metohije.

Naš cilj je da prikupimo 100.000 evra za kupovinu kuće koja će postati mesto umetničkog rada, boravka i susreta. Mesto u kojem će umetnici moći da stvaraju, istražuju, razmenjuju ideje i ostanu dovoljno dugo da njihova inspiracija preraste u umetnička dela.

Zašto baš Prizren?

Prizren je grad dubokih istorijskih slojeva, bogatog duhovnog i kulturnog nasleđa i posebnog mesta u srpskoj istoriji. Njegove ulice, svetinje i kulturni spomenici čuvaju tragove vekovnog stvaralaštva i svedoče o nasleđu koje i danas ima šta da kaže budućim generacijama.

Umetničko stvaralaštvo Srba na Kosovu i Metohiji nije nestalo. Ono i dalje živi kroz umetnike, njihove ideje, rad i posvećenost. Međutim, u Prizrenu danas nedostaje prostor koji bi im omogućio da se okupe, posvete svom radu i tokom dužeg perioda borave u gradu koji nosi toliko istorijskih i kulturnih značenja.

Kuća za umetnost treba da popuni upravo tu prazninu.

Više od kuće — prostor za stvaranje i susrete

Želimo da ova kuća postane otvoren i živ umetnički prostor u kojem će srpski umetnici sa Kosova i Metohije, ali i umetnici iz drugih sredina, moći da pronađu uslove za rad, mir za stvaranje i priliku za međusobno povezivanje.

Kuća će biti namenjena:

Ne želimo da stvorimo samo prostor u kojem će se umetnost prikazivati. Želimo da stvorimo mesto na kojem će ona nastajati.

Zajednička inicijativa za Kosovo i Metohiju

Svetosavski bal u Beču već godinama podržava humanitarne, kulturne i obrazovne projekte na Kosovu i Metohiji. Ta posvećenost nastavlja se i na 28. Svetosavskom balu, koji će biti održan 23. januara 2027. godine u bečkom Hofburgu.

Kosovo i Metohija biće zvanični partner Bala, čime će njihovo kulturno stvaralaštvo, obrazovanje i budućnost mladih dobiti posebno mesto u programu.

U okviru Bala i zajedno sa Domom kulture "Gračanica" biće realizovano 12 umetničkih projekata, nastupiće balerine iz Gračanice, a 25 najboljih učenika iz 25 opština na Kosovu i Metohiji biće specijalni gosti ove svečanosti.

Humanitarna misija Bala biće posvećena upravo Kući za umetnost u Prizrenu.

Na taj način, inicijativa povezuje umetnike, mlade generacije, donatore i ljude koji veruju da kulturno nasleđe nije samo ono što smo nasledili, već i ono što smo spremni da stvaramo i ostavimo iza sebe.

Vaša podrška stvara prostor za budućnost

Za kupovinu kuće potrebno je 100.000 evra. Svaka donacija, bez obzira na iznos, približava nas cilju da Prizren dobije prostor koji će umetnicima omogućiti da stvaraju, borave i ostavljaju trag.

Pozivamo pojedince, kompanije, fondacije, kulturne ustanove i sve ljude dobre volje da nam se pridruže u ovoj inicijativi.

Ponekad je za nastanak velikog umetničkog dela potreban samo pravi prostor. A ponekad je za očuvanje čitavog jednog kulturnog sveta potrebno da zajedno stvorimo mesto na kojem će budućnost imati gde da počne.

Pomozimo da Kuća za umetnost u Prizrenu postane dom stvaralaštva, nadahnuća i novih susreta.

Jer nasleđe nije samo ono što čuvamo iz prošlosti.

Nasleđe je i budućnost koju zajedno stvaramo.

The House of Arts in Prizren

A place to preserve our heritage and create the future

Help us bring Prizren back to life as a place of artistic creation, inspiration and encounter.

In the heart of Prizren, in the historic neighbourhood of Podkaljaja, near the Prizren Seminary, we aim to establish the House of Arts — a space dedicated to Serbian artists, their creative work and the preservation of the cultural heritage of Kosovo and Metohija.

Our goal is to raise €100,000 to purchase a house that will become a place for artistic work, extended stays and meaningful encounters. A place where artists can create, explore, exchange ideas and remain long enough for inspiration to grow into works of art.

Why Prizren?

Prizren is a city of extraordinary historical depth, rich spiritual and cultural heritage, and profound significance in Serbian history. Its streets, sacred sites and cultural monuments preserve traces of centuries of artistic and cultural life — a legacy that continues to speak to future generations.

Serbian artistic life in Kosovo and Metohija has not disappeared. It continues through the artists who live and work there, their ideas, their dedication and their creativity. Yet Prizren currently lacks a dedicated space where artists can come together, focus on their work and stay in the city for extended periods, immersed in its unique historical and cultural environment.

The House of Arts aims to fill precisely this gap.

More than a house — a home for creativity and connection

We envision an open, living artistic space where Serbian artists from Kosovo and Metohija, as well as artists from other communities and regions, can find the conditions they need to work, the peace to create and the opportunity to connect with one another.

The House of Arts will provide a setting for:

Our ambition is not simply to create a place where art can be displayed. We want to create a place where art can be made.

A shared commitment to Kosovo and Metohija

For many years, the Saint Sava Ball in Vienna has supported humanitarian, cultural and educational initiatives in Kosovo and Metohija. This commitment will continue at the 28th Saint Sava Ball, taking place on 23 January 2027 at Vienna's Hofburg Palace.

Kosovo and Metohija will be the Ball's official partner, bringing the region's artistic and cultural life, educational initiatives and the future of its young people into special focus.

In cooperation with "Gračanica" cultural center, the programme will feature 12 artistic projects, ballet dancers from Gračanica, and 25 outstanding students representing 25 municipalities across Kosovo and Metohija, who will attend as special guests.

The Ball's humanitarian initiative will be dedicated to the House of Arts in Prizren.

This initiative brings together artists, younger generations, donors and all those who believe that cultural heritage is not only what we inherit, but also what we choose to create and pass on.

Your support can create a home for the future

We need to raise €100,000 to purchase the house. Every contribution, regardless of its size, brings us closer to giving Prizren a space where artists can create, stay and leave their mark.

We invite individuals, companies, foundations, cultural institutions and people of goodwill to join us in making this vision a reality.

Sometimes, a great work of art needs only the right space to come into being. And sometimes, preserving an entire cultural world begins with creating a place where the future can take root.

Help us make the House of Arts in Prizren a home for creativity, inspiration and new connections.

Because heritage is not only what we preserve from the past.

Heritage is also the future we create together.
