aboutus2MISSION & PORTFOLIO

My name is KOA /Katerina Adamkova. I have founded this hidden creative empire in 2010 after 10 years working in studios with artists, studying art & glass production, studying life & nature, wisdom of indigenous people and our lovely Mother Earth.

Nowadays I realize fully my visions and intuition. Gallery has changed. It`s not only place for selling art. I love to support creativity in very natural and intuitive way. I am teaching kids and running family workshops and moving their limits for creativity.

So, happened that the Art Residence Prague is the place for harmonization and meeting people, sharing beautiful moments during concerts, interesting presentations, creations together and relaxing.

Finally Little touch of Bishop`s Court history

aboutus3 During the Romanesque period, at the end of the 12th century, the powerful bishop, Prince Jindřich Břetislav had a vast court built as a bishop‘s seat on the left bank of the Vltava river. His successors, bishops and archbishops, e.g. Jan of Dražice (which the name of the Dražické Square is derived) had the court extended and rebuilt. The fire in 1249, started by the rebels against the King Wenceslas I. caused, according to the chronicler Kosmas, an extensive renovation of the seat. In 1419 the court was plundered and burnt down. This was the fall of the court and its walls were used for the construction of houses of Prague bourgeoisie. The appearance of the house, today called according to its historical origin „The Bishop’s House”, emanates from 1843, when the reconstruction of the 16th century semblance was finished after six years of work.
