- ln 2011 Polish Art Europe (PAE) will organise Play Poland Film Festival. This event will be under the patronage of the Consulate General of the Republic of Poland, one of Scotland’s most influential advocates for contemporary art, Prof. Richard Demarco and Prof. Zbigniew Pełczyński, tutor in political philosophy and politics at Pembroke College, Oxford.

- Europe Europe Gallery - under this name you will not find any particular place or building. This is an idea, a project which connects many artistic groups from many different countries in Europe willing to present their artworks to the wider public. The project’s main goal is to unite artists and galleries, who cooperate under one name. Exhibitions will circulate from one city to another and from one country to another to reach as big an audience as possible.

- An exhibition of artworks by Wojciech Siudmak, the creator of an excellent artwork for the Polish edition of the 'Dune' series. A world renowned Polish artist who lives and creates in France, Wojciech Siudmak is considered to be one of the leading representatives of fantastic realism. His works have been seen around the world and are often used to advertise films, theatre productions and museums, becoming the conveyors of messages about prestigious events like the Cannes Film Festival and the Montreal Film Festival. The artist's presence at the exhibition in Edinburgh will make this a great event.

Associates

Our organisation prides itself on bringing together a number of Polish and Scottish groups to work towards the aim of spreading Polish Culture for the enjoyment of everyone in Scotland. From the beginning, the Polish Art Europe project has been under the patronage of the Consulate General of the Republic of Poland in Edinburgh.
It has also been supported by influential people in the art world in Scotland.
David Petterson from the Edinburgh City Art Centre and Jeremy Howard (famous historian and the author of "East European Art 1650-1950"), were supporters from the start, not to mention the legendary Richard Demarco, thanks to whom we exhibited at the Demarco Roxy Art House.

We cooperate closely with Kombinat Kultury and European Art Gardens from Zielona
Gora in Poland and also with Europa, Europa Gallery, which brings together many European galleries to organise exhibitions. We also cannot forget to mention the support of the Scottish Polish Cultural Association based in Edinburgh. The portal www.edinburgh.com.pl has used its website to publicised Polish Art Europe from the beginning and offered further media support.

We hope that this list of collaborators will be longer with every new edition of this catalogue.

There are a number of creative Polish in Scotland working in the fields of visual arts, music, film and theatre and channelling their experiences of living in Scotland into works of art. It is important to present their work, as well as the best of culture from Poland, to wider Scottish audiences to stimulate mutual understanding, interest and support and build strong, cohesive and diverse communities.
