Organized by: Gallery of Maria Curie Sklodowska Academic Cultural Centre "Chatka Żaka" and the Travelling Art Gallery of the Association of Polish Artists and Designers
The idea of the Travelling Art Gallery was created in 2013. The aim of the project is to provide residents of the districts of Lublin with a wide access to fine arts in the field of painting, graphics, sculpture and multimedia techniques through the exhibitions of works by well-established artists. District Community Cultural Centres and Youth Cultural Centres serve as a meeting place for the local community with a great cognitive potential. In addition to being professional exhibition rooms, these places also have the possibility of reaching all age groups, helping to spread cultural education and shape aesthetic sensitivity. They improve the quality of cultural life of individual districts of our city through access to professional artistic ventures.
