Foundation

In October 2018, the TEMIDA Arts & Business Foundation was established by our firm. The aim of the foundation was to combine over 25 years of experience and extensive business contacts of our company with the experience of people who have also been active in the field of international arts and culture for over a quarter of a century. While creating it, we were thinking about our clients at the same time. We hope that in the future the foundation will also become an efficient tool for them to pursue their aspirations in the field of culture and charity. Already during the first month of operation, the foundation signed a framework collaboration agreement with the largest university in Polish Beskidy Region – the University of Technology and Humanities in Bielsko-Biała.

Since 2019, the Foundation has been the organizer of the Beskid Classics Festival “Beskid Classics”. In cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we prepared the project “Polish music – music of freedom” in Georgia in November 2019 and the celebrations of the 10th anniversary of the EU Eastern Partnership with national philharmonics in Tbilisi, Chisinau and Kiev. We also prepared the project “The Summit of Culture”, which is one of the flagship projects of the Žilina Beskids 2026 application for the title of the European Capital of Culture. Among the companies and institutions that have recognised the Foundation as a reliable partner and supported its activities are, among others: the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland, the Adam Mickiewicz Institute, the City of Bielsko-Biała, the Marshal’s Office of the Silesian Voivodeship, Cavatina Holding, Wineland, Genelec, the Foundation of the Industrial Development Agency, Mercedes-Benz Sobiesław Zasada Automotive and the University of Technology and Humanities in Bielsko-Biała.
