Ladies and Gentlemen,

The 34th Small Festival of Artistic Forms begins on October 8th. Since 1993, it has held a special place in the life of the Nowy Sącz Small Gallery. Every year, it brings together artists from various fields, as well as you, our audience.

This year's edition will open with an exhibition of posters by Tomasz Bocheński, a graphic designer from Nowy Sącz with a long history in the press. Following the initial concerts, there will be an exhibition by Samuel Kłoda, a young painter whose paintings captivate with their intense color and expressive texture. Next, we invite you to a meeting with Eliza Kącka, winner of the 2025 Nike Literary Award. The final weeks of the festival will be dedicated to music.

I hope this year's festival gives you time to look carefully, listen, and talk. At Mała Galeria, we value those moments when art becomes the beginning of a connection. I hope there will be many of them this fall.

I cordially invite you to the 34th Small Festival of Artistic Forms.

Joanna IwanskaDirector of the Nowy Sącz Small Gallery
