"Polish culture, tradition and history are the reason for who I am. The City of Montreal, open to diversity, has inspired me to get involved in promoting Polish culture in Canada and abroad. I pay homage to what is always the strongest and the truest in me. I am happy to show Canadians and the world what they cannot find anywhere else. "

Liliana Komorowska

The Foundation Liliana Komorowska for the Arts was established in Montreal in 2004 due to the founder's desire to promote Polish culture in Canada and abroad. Liliana Komorowska, an actress, living in North America for over 30 years, created The Foundation as a vessel to continue her long-term effort and encourage Polish-Canadian cultural cooperation. Aimed at stimulating interest in both countries, the Foundation offers easy access to Polish culture by supporting Polish and Canadian artists willing to show their talents on both continents.

The Montreal Poetry Salon

The Foundation is a proud contributor to the Montreal Poetry Salon which is hosted in Montreal since 2009.
