**Zgierz Showcases “Beauty and Folklore” of Zgierz County in New Exhibition and Album**

**Zgierz, Poland –** A vibrant celebration of local art and tradition is now on display at the Centrum Kultury Powiatu Zgierskiego, as the “Beauty and Folklore of Zgierz County” exhibition opened its doors on Friday. The exhibition, along with a companion album, features the work of 18 talented artists from Zgierz, Głowno, and Ozorków.

The project, made possible by the Łódź Voivodeship’s Civic Budget, showcases a diverse range of artistic styles and techniques, from abstract art to nature scenes and even icon painting. According to Agnieszka Wrześkiewicz of Pastel Art, the Ogólnopolskie Stowarzyszenie Pastelistów z Ozorkowa conceived the project with the aim of fostering connections between artists of different generations.

“We wanted to integrate the community, to show its diversity, so that younger artists could get to know older ones,” Wrześkiewicz explained.

The exhibition boasts works by artists such as Dariusz Młynarczyk, Agnieszka Andruszkiewicz, Marlena Lenart, Paweł Skurpl, Marta Cholewa, Jan Cholewczyński, and Andrzej and Gabriela Nawrot.

The opening event was attended by Joanna Skrzydlewska, Marshal of the Łódź Voivodeship, and Małgorzata Grabarczyk, Chairwoman of the Regional Assembly, who praised the initiative. “I am very pleased that as a local government we can support such projects, although in reality it was the residents who decided to both publish this unique album and organize this exhibition,” Skrzydlewska stated. “I wish you even more creative passion, so that we can participate in further such events.”

The project also included pastel painting workshops for children, youth, and adults, with selected works from the workshops also displayed at the exhibition. The opening night featured a performance by the folk group “Boruta” and traditional refreshments prepared by the Women’s Circle of Besiekierz.

The exhibition will run until the end of May at the Centrum Kultury Powiatu Zgierskiego.
