Based in Dublin ArtPolonia is the most active organisation facilitating intercultural co-operation and exchange between the Polish Community in Ireland and the local programmes, events and audiences.
We focus on how the cultural environment can be used as a tool to enrich people’s lives, broaden horizons and knowledge as well as to increase capacity for tolerance, communication and mutual understanding.
The aim of ArtPolonia is professional organisation, support and promotion of high level cultural events and initiatives aimed at the Polish Community as well as a wider audience with an interest in Polish culture.
We facilitate performances, exhibitions, concerts, installations, readings, workshops and presentations of photography, film and animations.
