RAFFMA Dreams & Memories: Jan Sawka, Coast to Coast
Dreams & Memories: Jan Sawka, Coast to Coast:
An online symposium celebrating two exhibitions of work by Jan Sawka
Saturday, May 2nd, 2020
10 a.m. PDT / 1 p.m. EDT / 7 p.m. CEST
Separated by the whole of the country, two university art museums currently exhibiting the work of the late artist have joined together to present a symposium on his profoundly touching and, ultimately, humane work. Both museums, together with the exhibition curators, have partnered to create an online symposium. Viewers from around the world will be able to join in as symposium speakers consider Jan Sawka's life and achievement – and the connection of his career and art with California and New York – from several points of view, including the biographical, the historical, the technical, and the personal – yielding a composite portrait of this protean and visionary artist.
A special thank you to our partners: Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art (SDMA) in SUNY New Paltz, and Hanna Maria Sawka MFA, in partnership with the Polish Cultural Institute New York, and supported by The Kościuszko Foundation, the SUNY New Paltz Foundation Inc., and the Consulate General of the Republic of Poland in Los Angeles.
