Galleria Triada, Gdansk
Since its establishment in 1990, Galleria Triada in Gdansk, under the ownership and direction of Wieslawa Romanowska, a Polish philologist and theatre expert, has risen to prominence in the Polish art scene. Renowned as the largest and oldest private gallery specializing in modern art within the Tricity (Trojmiasto) area, Triada has become a beacon for art enthusiasts.
Triada's influence extends beyond its physical location, having hosted over 150 vernissages featuring both acclaimed artists from Poland and international talents, as well as promising young graduates from the Art Academy. This dedication to nurturing emerging artists is particularly evident in its “Best Diploma” series, which focuses on showcasing exceptional painting and sculpture works by recent graduates.
Triada's reach and cultural significance are further amplified by its active participation in major local events. The gallery plays a pivotal role during the prestigious Polish Film Festivals in Gdynia and the Song Festivals in Sopot, where its cocktail events attract considerable crowds. Additionally, Romanowska's initiative in organizing significant events, such as the painting of the famous Monte Cassino street (monciak) in Sopot, underscores her commitment to integrating art within the community.
The gallery also demonstrates a strong social conscience. During the carnival season, Triada organizes charity art auctions at balls, with the proceeds dedicated to various social causes. This aspect of social responsibility is a testament to the gallery's ethos of giving back to the community.
Moreover, Triada's presence is not confined to Poland. The gallery actively participates in international art fairs and organizes exhibitions in various European countries, thereby spreading its influence and showcasing Polish modern art on a global stage.
