21 Sztuka: Contemporary Art from Poland

In the fall of 2010, representatives from the Turchin Center staff visited four cities and countless artists living and working in Poland. The goals of the trip were to research local art and artists and to lay the groundwork for future artist residencies, faculty, student and cultural exchanges. During the trip, Turchin Center representatives toured many artists' studios, and began curating the Summer 2012 exhibition.

This exhibition, exploring the amazing contemporary work being created in 21st century Poland, is evidence of continuing partnerships in the visual arts which expand the center's and the university's international programming. The TCVA and the Office of International Education and Development have partnered to provide increased accessibility to programs deepening the Appalachian's community educational and cultural experience relating to Poland culture and the visual arts.
