The subsidiary PPF Art focuses on culture and art activities for the long term. Since the 1990s, it has systematically built a collection of Czech and Slovak photography and managed Ceska pojistovna´s corporate art collection, which dates back to CP's inception more than 180 years ago. PPF Art operates several galleries in Prague, which present the works of established Czech artists as well as some novel and surprising installations of up and coming artists. PPF Art also contributes to the development and popularisation of art through cooperation with other galleries and the loaning of works of art to both domestic and international collections.
PPF Art operates the following galleries
- Vaclav Spala Gallery (Galerie Václava Špály) - PPF Art became the operator of this prestigious gallery for a ten year term in the spring of 2010, having won the tendering process run by the Prague 1 Municipal District.
- Thanks to PPF Group's investment, the crumbling studio of the famous photographer, Josef Sudek Studio (Ateliér Josefa Sudka), has been turned into a respected exhibition space.
- Ceska pojistovna Gallery (Galerie České pojišťovny) - the gallery presents the works of the current generation of Czech artists in a series titled “Landscape and Still Life in Contemporary Czech Art”. During the summer, PPF Art regularly exhibits works from Ceska pojistovna's extensive collection and PPF's collections.
