Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art
The Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art develops, presents, and promotes art in all its forms. It is a place of bold reflection on cultural and artistic practices, as well as on the state of society – in the face of challenges, opportunities, and crises.
Our greatest strength lies in people: the artists and creators, the audiences gathered around the institution, and our team. We act on the basis of good practice and a strong sense of responsibility for what we do. The values that guide us are: social engagement, openness to experiment, transparency, attentiveness, and ecological awareness.
