Artists' Colony

There was also presentation of the Artists' Colony which was founded in 2001. It was established by the group of artists and cultural animators in the areas of former Gdansk shipyard. The Foundation is involved in projects where the main work tool is the culture and art. The leading activities includes artistic, music and socio-cultural projects, as well as popularization and promotion of art including niche, avant-garde and non-commercial.

Gdansk City Gallery

The participants also visited the Gdansk City Gallery - its three brunches. 

Gunter Grass Gallery houses a collection of the Nobelist's 129 art pieces. The foundation of this collection was a gift from Grass to the City of Gdańsk in 2007 which included 51 graphics and 6 sculptures. In 2009 the Günter Grass Gallery in Gdańsk was established in order to store and present these works of art. 

Gdansk City Gallery 1 and 2 was currently presenting “Friends from the Seaside”. The exhibition is another opportunity for Friends to meet and an attempt to restore a specific format of collective artistic activity. The first part of the exhibition (1st – 31st of August) features archival works: paintings, films, murals, photographs made between 2002 and 2004. During the show, a plein-air is planned by the Motława (1st – 7th of August). Works created during the plein-air are exhibited in the second chapter of the exhibition that runs between 11th of September and 11th of October 2015.
