An exceptionally rich, interdisciplinary presentation of works by numerous artists contributes to the anniversary exhibition marking the 70th anniversary of the Society of Friends of the Fine Arts in Nowy Sącz.
Seven decades represent an entire era in the history of the local community - a time of dynamic change, aesthetic evolution, and constant dialogue with the audience’s sensibilities. For 70 years, the Society of Friends of the Fine Arts in Nowy Sącz has been one of the most important pillars of the city’s cultural identity. It is a space that not only brings together the local artistic community but above all continually shapes the sensibilities of successive generations of Nowy Sącz residents, proving that art is a living and indispensable part of the city’s organism.
The exhibition “In Tribute to the Founders” is a polyphonic, jubilee narrative created by an impressive and exceptionally large group of artists affiliated with the TPSP. The exhibition reflects the association’s immense stylistic and formal diversity. Here, we will see works that defy clear-cut classifications ranging from traditional painting and sculpture, through unique graphic art to modern interdisciplinary mixed media and installations.
The works on display are, on the one hand, an expression of the individual artistic explorations of contemporary artists, and on the other, a profound tribute and expression of gratitude to those who, 70 years ago, instilled a love of the fine arts in Nowy Sącz. They form a bridge spanning respect for tradition and the courage to look toward the future.

Mirosław Banaś, Wiesław Basiaga, Marta Bielawska, Iwona Biernacka, Adam Bojarski, Alina Bożyk, Tadeusz Bronkiewicz, Renata Brzozowska, Krzysztof Drożdż, Bożena Dudek-Olszewska, Anna Maria Janik, Jerzy Jędrys, Renata Kaczorowska, Nelli Kalinkina, Beata Kamycka, Joanna Kiełbasa, Lidia Komar, Barbara Kościółek, Grażyna Kulig, Grażyna Leszczyńska, Marek Liber, Joanna Majcher, Jadwiga Marzec, Anna Obrzut, Małgorzata Ogorzały, Bogumiła Pękała, Stefan Pękała, Michał Piotrowski, Jakub Puchal, Teresa Rogoń, Janusz Ryba, Teresa Śmietana, Celina Śliwa, Rozalia Tokarczyk, Joanna Urbaniak-Dudka, Magdalena Winiarek, Krystyna Węglowska, Maria Bogusława Wójcik, Wanda Zaremba-Miejska, Stanisław Zegartowski, Helena Zimowska, Maria Ziobro
