The Horbowy International Glass Competition – an initiative with an international dimension of Lower Silesian cultural institutions

The Horbowy International Glass Competition was officially annonunced on the 1st of July 2022 on the website www.horbowy.okis.pl and  during the press conference which took place at the Muzeum Karkonoskie w Jeleniej Górze.

The idea of the Competition was created by the Centre for Culture and Art in Wrocław in cooperation with the Karkonosze Museum in Jelenia Góra and The Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Art and Design in Wrocław. The aim of the event is to promote artistic glass and art related to it as disciplines of particular importance for the tradition of Wrocław and the entire Lower Silesia region.

The patron of the competition is Professor Zbigniew Horbowy – an outstanding artist and designer, a former Rector of the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Art and Design in Wrocław, a reformer of the Polish art glass, whose entire artistic life was associated with the Lower Silesian region. The competition is a kind of bridge between the history and the future of this unique field of art.

The Competition is addressed to adult artists from Poland and abroad. Online applications can be sent to the address: horbowy@okis.pl. The jury will select the best projects from all the submitted artworks. The organisers provide prizes for the winners. The Competition exhibition will take place at the Geppart Gallery of the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław and at the Karkonosze Museum in Jelenia Góra in 2023.  Awarded artworks will also be published in a catalogue.

The honorary patronage over the competition is taken by Cezary Przybylski – Marshall of the Lower Silesia Region. The event accompanies the global celebration of the United Nations International Year of Glass.

The project is co-financed from the budget of the Lower Silesian Voivodeship Self-Government.
