The show is called “Slovenská. New Generation – Mal’ba 2006-2015" and consists of exhibiting the winning artworks of a competition organized by the VUB Foundation who supports contemporary young art in the field of painting.
On annual basis, it organizes the Competition Painting – VUB Foundation Award for Painting and for Young Artists designed for professional painters below 35 years.
