The ÚTVAR association was founded with the aim of supporting student life at the Institute of Art History of the Faculty of Arts of Charles University and promoting the field of art history as such. It participates in organizing informal events for students and teachers, tries to be helpful to prospective students and newly admitted students, and attempts to contribute in a positive way to the running of the Institute itself. By organizing open events (lectures, discussions, walks), it tries to spread awareness of the field outside the Institute.
