Since the beginning of its activity inf the structure of the self-government of the Lesser Poland Voivody, Mościce Art Centre has built its image of a new institution. After three years of intensive modernization of the same building as well as modifications in the same programme formula, you speak today of a new, recognizable and firm brand. A place where art wins over commercialism, where audience comes curious, where, using the spacious possibilities of the place, many fields of art are successfully combines, creating original and ambitious programmes.
An important objective the Centre imposes for itself is building a good repertoire, gaining audience as well as promotion and care for the image. The Centre has been awarded for exceptional repertoire and successful reactivation of the institution by recipients of culture and culture creators have been noticed by the minister of culture Bogdan Zdrojewskiego. Artistic events proposed by the Centre are first and foremost focused on the promotion of Polish culture and presenting the most interesting signs of the creativity of foreign artists.
An idea of the institution is proposing precious, professional, modern actions in art, comprising theatre, film, the fine arts, music (jazz, classical, opera, ballet). The so-far implemented artists venture prove that you must seek the power and attractiveness of the Centre in the high quality cultural proposals. This, using the space of the institution to the maximum extent, we organize interdisciplinary events which combine many fields of art. they become a prominent symbol and reason to realize cyclical and festival events. For example, in this category fall: Summer Festival „Muzyczne tarasy”, Dance Theatres' Festival Open Stage, film festivals like „Galicja”, a series of jazz concerts „Scene na antresoli”, Lesser Poland Theatrical evenings”, Art Festival ArtFest, „From the series of Personalities” exhibition actions comprising photography, painting of multimedia.
Moscice Art Centre of Tarnów is the biggest and most complex building of culture in the sub region of Tarnów.
Inside there is an exhibition space, concert-theatre room with the auditorium for 600 people, two cinema halls with digital and 3D projectors, ballet, didactic, multimedia rooms, a professional backroom. Thus The Centre serves to art which tries to use modern techniques, new info carriers, innovative creating technologies.
Throughout the period of Poland's isolation from European and world tends of modern art, from the widely-understood progress, we deepened shortcomings in education, and at the same time, in the understanding of signs of the modern world. Consequently, despite nearly 30 years of being open for the west, one can feel conservatism in the actions of Polish artists, but also audience – culture recipients, to this day.
In interdisciplinary projects assuming international confrontations, the superior motive is common Europe of many nations, many cultures, many ways of thinking. The purpose of the meeting of professional and non professional artists is a presentation of these differences using all materials and artistic techniques, keeping „the common denominator”, which is the common heritage.
The project entitled „ Dance Theatres' Festival Open Stage”, is co-financed by the European Union and the budget of Lesser Poland's voivody within the Lesser Poland Regional Operational Programme for the years 2007-2013.
