Academy of Fine Arts in Katowice during the coronavirus outbreak

Important information: please read


Dear Members of our academic community,

containing the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus requires our cooperation and patience. An important element of the preventive measures is self-isolation and social distancing. Both recommendations must now prevail over the ideas that inspired our ancestors  to create the Academia as places to meet in order to exchange knowledge and skills.

The state of pandemic forces us to reorganize our way of teaching and  the procedures of managing the university, and to change our everyday routines. Below please find the information on the risks of
the SARS-CoV-2 infection, what to do if you suspect you have been infected, and about the organizational changes at the Academy.

Although we must remain in our houses, we should keep in touch with art. Let us spend this time creatively. Let us visit virtual galleries, libraries and cinemas.

Antoni Cygan
Rector of the Academy of Fine Arts in Katowice
