Hotel Warszawa Art Fair launches in Warsaw with free admission and focus on Polish galleries

From September 9 to 11, 2022, Warsaw, Poland, will host the inaugural Hotel Warszawa Art Fair, showcasing 20 galleries from Poland. This event, organized by women from Gunia Nowik Gallery, Polana Institute, and Leto Gallery, seeks to enrich the global art fair landscape. The historic art deco Hotel Warszawa, crafted by Jewish architect Marcin Weinfeld, will serve as the venue, with free admission. The fair highlights the surge in Polish art collecting since the 1990s, as noted in Isa Szostak's 2019 article 'skaj is the limit.' Notable features include exhibitions from the Starak Family Foundation and Filmoteka screenings. Amanda Likus, the hotel manager, underscores the venue's complex history and welcoming nature amidst increasing cultural restrictions by Poland's right-wing government and the arrival of Ukrainian refugees.
