ÚĽUV events

Exhibitions in its own galleries and exhibitions intended to be presented abroad have been part of ÚĽUV permanent cultural and promotional activities for six decades now. Several of ÚĽUV’s events are repeated regularly.

For twenty years, we have been organising in Bratislava a festival of traditional crafts and folk production called ÚĽUV Craftsmen Days. Every two years, ÚĽUV hosts competitions for young professional designers and for pupils of primary schools and art schools.

ÚĽUV in 2024 established cooperation with another Art School, the School of Design - Bohumil Bača Private School of Art Industry in Bratislava. Within the framework of this school, students of the Graphic Design Department worked on the theme of the logo for the 80th anniversary of ÚĽUV with application to promotional items in the form of an assignment.
