The Štěpán Zavřel Foundation is a silk thread, strong and delicate, that connects Sàrmede to the rest of the world. It gathers and nurtures the seeds left behind by all those who visit the rooms of its Casa della Fantasia.
It is an International School where artists with diverse sensitivities come together. It is a Museum that holds a world made of colors, materials, layers, ideas, and dreams, bearing witness to the work of a Master. It is an Exhibition that, for over forty years, has opened windows onto the world of illustration and children’s literature.
The illustration of the second half of the 20th Century in Sarmede
Imagination, creativity, fantasy. A place that is both a physical location and a state of mind. A corner of the world where stories intertwine, hope is built, and brushstrokes of color create paths that are always new and still to be explored. We look forward to welocoming you in Sarmede!
