foundation

The Polish Modern Art Foundation, established in the autumn of 1985, is one of the first independent non-profit institutions operating in the field of culture. Its mission is to provide support for and promote talented artists who have distinguished themselves and whose artistic activity contributes to the development of modern art, and above all the Polish arts. Moreover, the Foundation supports independent artists of Central and Eastern Europe.
