Stock Foundation brought the joy of art to two different communities—offering a powerful look at Polish patriotic painting and a virtual journey through the Vatican Museums.

On April 9, the Stock Foundation organized two enriching art events.

The first took place at a care home for individuals with disabilities, where Ms. Jolanta Polańska, an esteemed art curator from the National Museum, presented a digital exhibition highlighting patriotic themes in Polish painting. The session featured works by Jan Matejko and the Kossak family, offering residents a meaningful connection to national heritage. Such engagements are vital, providing inspiration and cultural enrichment to the care home community.

Later that day, Ms. Barbara Czajkowska, also from the National Museum, led a presentation at the City Hall on the Vatican Museum’s collections. The event, aimed at seniors, was well-received, with many attendees expressing that it felt as though they had personally toured the Vatican. This gathering underscored the importance of accessible cultural experiences for the elderly. We were honored by the presence of Lublin’s Deputy Mayor for Social Affairs, Anna Augustyniak, who attended the event.
