Our History

We were created to support artists

The MANA Art Foundation wants to discover and support talented artists.
We create a platform that is a space for the exchange of inspiration and cooperation between young artists and experienced experts. We support the career development of our students at every stage, helping them in making contacts, acquiring new skills and promotion of their work on a wider scale. Thanks to this, we help not only in realizing individual dreams, but also contribute to the enrichment of Polish and international culture.
We offer help for young creators on many levels – from promoting their work, through artistic consulting, to building a strong and authentic media image.

The name of the foundation is not a coincidence

The people mentioned above are participants of the autumn concert in Duszniki-Zdrój, who made us realize that music alone is not enough for artistic success. The concert is the result of teamwork, including marketing, finance and administration. The MANA Foundation does not create a ready-made career path, nor does it guarantee success, but tries to make it easier for young artists to start. Often, further success depends on a good start.

Our activity is based on the belief that art has great educational value and shaping the next generations.For this reason, we place particular emphasis on broadly understood cultural education, which aims to develop aesthetic sensitivity and prepare young people to receive art in its various forms. We support not only artists, but also we create an environment, which engages art recipients, building an informed and demanding audience. Popularizing music, both classical and contemporary, is one of the pillars of our activities, thanks to which we try to build a bridge between tradition and modernity in culture.

Our founders are Renata Kiełbasiewicz-Drozdek and Mariusz Kiełbasiewicz.
