I have recently beeb invited by the Vice President of the Polish Art Foundation Anna Maciejewska, to join forces as a New Media Arts Advisor and support the foundation’s program of upcoming art events.
PAF was set up towards the end of the year in 1977, in Melbourne, Australia. Its spiritual founder was an artist and painter Wladyslaw Dutkiewicz. A group of his close friends decided to organise a show of his works, this in fact instigated the foundation’s birth.
The aim of the foundation is to promote Polish artists among the Australian community and vice versa, to promote Australian artists to the migrant community living in Australia.
Today, three decades on, the Polish Art Foundation hosts a range of thematic exhibitions, workshops for artists and social functions. It also conducts arts auctions, produces a quarterly bulletin and ensures that member artists have an opportunity to participate in its annual calendar of events.
I feel extremely privileged to be invited to SBS radio for a discussion about new digital media and the future plans of Polish Art Foundation .
