2018 Marks the 100 years of the Birth of the Nation of Czechoslovakia!
This important commemoration is being celebrated in The Czech and Slovak Republics as a watershed event which brought Woodrow Wilson’s concept of self-determination into reality and allowed a new model of democracy to prosper and develop out of the ruins of the Post-WWI Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Great sacrifices were made by the Czecho-slovak Legions who fought against Germany and Austro-Hungary in World War I and later the Bolsheviks in Russia. Under the heroic leadership of Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, Edvard Beneš, General Milan Rastislav Štefánik and Karel Kramář (The Czechoslovak National Council) the Allies accepted the declaration of an independent parliamentary democracy Czechoslovakia.
The Eurasia Center, many of whose founding members are Czechoslovak Americans, members of Charter 77, and were involved in the Velvet Revolution, are organizing a special exhibition of the great Czech Artist Pavel Vavrys to commemorate the birth of democratic Czechoslovakia. In fact, Pavel Vavrys’ uncle was a member of the Czech Legion who died fighting in WWI. His art work will celebrate the great heroes of the Czechoslovak Legion and the First Czechoslovak Republic. In addition, his rich tapestries will celebrate the great colors and the joy of life which Czechs bring to the community of nations.
The Eurasia Center is planning to organize a multi-part exhibition which involves a number of exhibition points for The Celebration Czechoslovakia 100 Exhibition. Participants will be thrilled to see the dynamic colors and existential dimensions of Vavrys’ Art. Proposing to start with an Exhibition in the American Embassy in Prague, The Eurasia Center would like to pay homage to President Woodrow Wilson and the great leadership effort he made to create the nation by organizing the 100 Years of Czechoslovakia Exhibition in Prague, Washington, DC and New York.
