OUR MISSION

In the paperwork it sounds like this:

The aim of the Foundation is to create a space for creators of artistic communities and their audiences, by broadening social awareness and sensitivity in the area of cultural events, art education and the promotion of art among people living in both rural and urban areas.

In our own words: we want culture to be closer to people. To look at, to touch, to test with your hands. To ask the question that seems dumb and then turns out to be the most important one. To step into the process without shame and without the face of someone who already knows everything.

We organize artistic events that bring different communities together: festivals and concerts, workshops, shows, open-air sessions. We show contemporary and multimedia art, including the kind that usually doesn't stand in the middle of the market square with a big budget and a banner bigger than a cottage.

We give space to work to musicians, painters, graphic artists, performance artists, filmmakers, photographers and dancers. We have people with experience and people who are only just checking whether their idea has legs, a cable, a point and a place in the real world.

We support emerging artists by pairing them with more experienced creators on shared projects. This isn't about arranging people in display cases. It's more of a conversation, a rehearsal, tinkering with something late into the night and that moment when someone shows their work in public for the first time and the ground doesn't actually swallow them.

We run educational activities for adults, children and young people: open studios, workshops, seminars. Participation matters to us. Watching from a distance can be good, but your own hands make a better mess. And out of a mess something alive often comes.

We promote the culture of Kashubia, niche art, non-commercial art and a sustainable lifestyle, including a zero-waste approach to organizing events. Without sanctimony. Simply less junk, more sense.
