To what extent can modern painting or architecture impact lives, or city stereotypes? How can tediousness of city reality be thwarted? Such were the issues the contestants in Urban Impact, a public fine art project, were faced with. The contest aimed at working out a specific project integrating visual art into city organism, into its public space, and point out the long-needed presence of visual art in the city. The contests could draw inspiration from manifold means of expression balancing between an object, site-specific art, and urban art. Project should cover strategic city public spaces - select location, mutual relationship and significance. And we know the winner.
Another city will share the European Capital of Culture 2013 (ECC) title with Košice -the French city of Marseille. Based on the up-to-date information, the composition of the French team has not changed. Since they worked under immense pressure, and experienced due stress before the results were announced, the team was naturally overjoyed to have won. After they savored victory, they eased up to get ready for the phase awaiting them, which would be much longer and much more challenging.
In early February, the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic officially commenced the prestigious contest to claim the European Capital of Culture title in 2015.

According to the report of the Czech Ministry of Culture provided to our Interface News, four cities have expressed an interest to run so far - České Budějovice, Plzeň, Ostrava and Hradec Králové.
