The European Union of Arts (EUA) is an international association of culturally active individuals and legal entities operating in Europe and other countries. It was founded in Prague in 1999. Since the beginning of the new millennium its Presidium has been awarding the "European Award for artistic and cultural activities" and the "European Award for promoting arts and culture".
The first prize was awarded to the New York painter Yuri Gorbachev. Consecutive prizes have been awarded to more than two hundred winners from forty countries of all continents. Since 2011 the statue "Golden Europea" has been an integral part of the award. The statue symbolizes the historical contribution of the "old continent" to arts, culture and creative coexistence of all manking. Its author is a major Slovak artist - painter and sculptor Stefan Pelikan.
EUA is not closed up either in a limiting shell of conservative art perception or in false cultural elitism. Every cultural achievement which enriches other people spiritually, making them happier and nobler, and which above all connects them, deserves at least a gesture of recognition, if not a public award. And this is where the basic mission of EUA lies.
