The Fassati Art Festival aims to present artistic projects full of unusual experiences, which include the harmony of music, visual arts, design, gourmet delicacies, emotions, and mutual human harmony. “Czech Roots”, the 11th gala evening took place this summer in the intriguing premises of the top floor and terrace of the National Agricultural Museum in Prague Letná.
The concert was opened by the museum’s director Zdeněk Novák. Popular Czech melodies were played and enjoyed on the roof of the museum, delivered by such music legends as Karel Vágner, pianist Pavel Větrovec and his band, and singer Markéta Fassati.
The whole experience was further enhanced by the exhibitions of young glass designers from the YARTI Young Glass Art, works of the wood artist and writer Martin Patřičný, and collectible Smart Coins by the BHS company. The BHS also prepared a competition for the guests called “What’s the weight of your future” with gold ingots as the prize.
Gourmet delicacies were tradi- tionally arranged by the Food Bank for Prague and the Central Bohemian Region. During the evening, the wine world of Vinselekt Michlovský was introduced by its owner Lenka Michlovská, and excellent coffee was once again served by Dallmayr Kaffee.
The 11th Fassati Art Festival gala evening received the patronage of the Minister of Agriculture Marek Výborný. The organizers would like to thank all the guests and partners for their support!
