BUBEC: 10,000 m² of Creativity

On the outskirts of Praha - Řeporyje, Studio Bubec is becoming a new cultural center beyond the limits of the proper city. This project for the revitalization of the area seeks to establish a multi-purpose creative environment whose events and activities will attract visitors from all over Prague, as well as from neighboring villages.

Studio Bubec was founded by Čestmír Suška, Jan Hřebejek, and Karel Holas in the year 2000. The chief guarantor and driving force behind this public-benefit corporation is sculptor Čestmír Suška, who also serves as chairman for the Board of Directors.

In 2014 we began drawing up plans to develop and revitalize the area surrounding Studio Bubec by creating an interactive sculpture park; this project under the title Bubec: 10,000 m² of Creativity will be carried out in four phases.

Studio Development Plan 2014-2020

Phase 1: Reconstruction of existing studio in 2015 – 8.5M Kč

Phase 2: Construction of additional studio spaces – 6M Kč

BabyBubec facility – 3.5M Kč

Phase 3: Landscaping, additional services, furnishings – 4.5M Kč

Phase 4: Cultural center – 21M Kč

In 2015 we successfully completed the first phase of the project – the reconstruction of the Bubec studio itself.

This development plan will not be feasible without financial assistance, which will provide funding for the capital costs associated with the design and construction of new studio spaces, as well as for the organizational development of the company itself.
