Welcome to the Polish Arts Festival Southend-on-Sea!
The first Polish Arts Festival in Southend was developed and produced by Hungry Arts together with 30 Bird Productions, Metal, Focal Point Gallery and the local Polish community, to celebrate the very best of Polish culture and art, and the special relationship between Southend-on-Sea and Sopot, Southend's Polish twin, on the Baltic Sea.
The three-day feast of Polish Arts was held during September 2009, and it will become a regular event in Southend: the next will take place between September 8th & 12th, 2010
It would not have been possible without the considerable and much appreciated support of Southend-on-Sea Borough Council, Arts Council England, and the Polish Cultural Institute - to name but a few of our many partners and sponsors.
The following pages give details of what happened at the first Festival and will be updated early in 2010 as the programme is confirmed. See you at the next Polish Arts Festival!
