Virtual Night at the Polish Museum – 41st Gala
Dear Friend of the PMA – Like many cultural nonprofits, the Polish Museum of America is facing serious challenges in these unprecedented times. Thus far, operations have been funded by various grants and donations. As the PMA nears the end of this funding, we turn to those who have so generously supported the PMA’s mission for 86 years. The PMA looks to Polish Americans in Chicago and across the US, as well as anyone with an interest in Polish and Polonian culture and heritage, to protect our shared stories and treasures for future generations. We are asking you to contribute to our biggest general operations fundraiser of the year – the 2021 PMA Gala, scheduled as a virtual event to be held on Friday, October 8, 2021. Frank Spula – president of the Polish National Alliance and Polish American Congress – and the Pilsudski Institute of America will be honored with the Polish Spirit Award, in the individual and organization categories, respectively.

The Polish Museum of America
The Polish Museum of America was established in 1935 as the “Museum and Archives of the Polish Roman Catholic Union of America.” The first public display area opened on January 12, 1937 in a specially designed and constructed room within the headquarters building of the PRCUA. From that date the Museum’s collection and importance grew very rapidly and quickly gained autonomous status as “The Polish Museum of America” with its own governing board of directors.

Pierwszy dzień wiosny 🌷🌿
W takim dniu nie moglibyśmy zapomnieć o wyjątkowym wiosennym poloniku 👉 przed Wami obraz "Wiosna" Ireny Pokrzywnickiej, z cyklu "Cztery pory roku" 🌺🌻
Irena Pokrzywnicka (1907-1975) była malarką związaną ze stowarzyszeniem „Rytm”, ale też świetną ilustratorką (m.in. książek Kornela Makuszyńskiego), projektantką kostiumów oraz nowoczesnych wnętrz, a w czasie wojny została zaprzysiężoną żołnierką AK i na prośbę powstańczego kapelana, ks. Apolinarego Leśniewskiego, namalowała „Matkę Boską Armii Krajowej”. Kochała wyrafinowaną modę i uwielbiała bywać w towarzystwie 💃
Dzieło Pokrzywnickiej na co dzień eksponowane jest w Polish Museum of America. W latach 2018-2020 "Wiosna" znalazła się wśród kilkudziesięciu obrazów odrestaurowanych dzięki konserwatorom i pomocy Instytutu Polonika. Obraz został naciągnięty na nowe krosna, uzupełniono także ubytki warstwy malarskiej oraz ubytki drewna, sporządzono dokumentację prac konserwatorskich 👋

The Polish Museum of America celebrated Pulaski Day earlier this morning with top officials from national, state, county, and city governments as well as leaders of Polonian organizations and institutions. To watch a full recap of the event, visit Polish Museum of America on Facebook.
Casimir Pulaski Day is a local holiday observed annually in Illinois since 1977 on the first Monday in March in honor of General Kazimierz (Casimir) Pulaski.
Recognized as the "Father of the American Cavalry," Pulaski offered his services as an experienced military leader to the American Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. In 1778, he established the Pulaski Legion, a corps of Frenchmen, German Hessians, and Poles, who were instrumental in saving Charleston, South Carolina, from British occupation in 1779.
