Our Story
Our vision is to
"Challenge, Optimise and Showcase through our Arts Festival the outstanding potential of artistic capabilities that exists within Polish and Irish Communities."
Polish Arts Festival (PAF) is a community organisation that integrates & promotes Polish culture & artists through collaboration with Limerick artists and venues. We strongly believe in social inclusion, integration & mutual understanding through arts. We create a platform for innovative and creative approaches to diverse Limerick. We strive to engage the community through involvement in culture, empower their individual and group potential.
After a very challenging year behind us we are so happy to be back in The Hunt Museum, Lime Tree Theatre & Belltable and online with our fantastic programme of events.
Celebrating its 14th year in Limerick, Polish Arts Festival presents the exhibition, events & workshops themed "Looking Up & Looking Out". This year’s festival is marked by 100th anniversary of Stanisław Lem, a worldwide known sci-fi author, father of “Solaris”. PAF presents Fantastical Audio Stories for Children, Podcasts, Workshops and Family Screenings all connected with Lem. See more at Events.
In these challenging times, when people miss each other, when social distance makes it hard to gather and celebrate, we look at the bright side of life and show that Together we can do much more regardless of the nationality, social & cultural background, beliefs or disbeliefs.
Join us this year, maybe for the first time, and enjoy a diverse Limerick experience.
PAF is part of European EXPO 2020
