As part of this year’s competition, the works of the winners were presented in Polish national museums. In turn, by September 19, some of the winners’ paintings, but also not previously thought – although equally beautiful works – can be seen as part of an outdoor exhibition at the Free Word Square at 2 Mysia Street in Warsaw. This is not only a beautiful culmination of the competition, but also the opportunity to communicate with culture every day.
A chance for young artists
“Meetings with art” is a competition addressed to students in grades of the 1st -VIII of primary schools from towns below 50 thousand. residents. His goal is to popularize culture and art among young artists. Thanks to him, children and young people from smaller towns have a chance not only to show their artistic skills, but also visit key cultural institutions in the country. You could win a one -day trip to one of the four national museums covered by PGE’s patronage or to the National Museum in Gdańsk. There were also material prizes for the winners.
This year, participants were to present their own interpretation of Stanisław Wyspiański’s image in any art technique. The subject matter, aesthetics and originality mattered. In this year’s edition, teachers – carers of the winners’ classes – for supporting the development of talents of young artists – were also awarded for the first time.
Art in museums and in the open air
The works of all winners of the competition were already presented in national museums in: Warsaw, Krakow, Gdańsk, Lublin and Kielce. However, at the outdoor exhibition at ul. Mysiej can also admire those works that have not been distinguished in the competition, and yet they arouse emotions and delight with ingenuity.
– Popularization of art and cultural education is one of the priorities at the PGE Foundation. We are glad that this year’s edition of our competition met with such great interest. However, we do not stop at the rewarding participants of the competition, but we also decided to present the competition entries in the form of an outdoor exhibition, so that art was closer to people and as many people as possible could get to know it – says Katarzyna Wasilewska, president of the PGE Foundation, who is already developing the 4th edition of the “Meeting with Art” competition.
