Art Transparent

What Art Transparent does

Art Transparent (Fundacja Art Transparent) is a privately-held non-profit contemporary art foundation established in Wrocław, Poland in 2005, registered with KRS number 0000247340. The foundation operates two physical galleries in Wrocław — the Mieszkanie Geppertów gallery (since 2007), housed in the former apartment of renowned Polish painters Hanna Krzetuska and Eugeniusz Geppert, and the Szewska gallery (since 2021) — and produces the annual SURVIVAL Art Review, one of Poland's oldest independent art reviews, reaching its 24th edition in June 2026 under the theme 'Finger in the Heart.' The foundation co-finances and produces several dozen artistic works each year and engages in publishing activities including catalogs, books, e-books, podcasts, videos, and educational worksheets.

The organization's program portfolio extends well beyond traditional exhibition programming into educational, civic, and international domains. Long-term initiatives include The Big Green (2023-2027, environmental/climate-themed artistic works and conferences), DemArt (an international institute for community art patronage), DECONFINING (Europe-Africa cultural policy collaboration), AI-ITHOS (AI-era ethics and research integrity training), TECH TALES (technology-integrated art education for children), and Book of Dreaming (integration program for Ukrainian refugee children). Demographic-segmented educational programs — Baby Art Walk, Kid Art Walk, and Senior Art Walk — and curated lecture series such as DYSK Gepperta round out the program. In May 2026, the foundation was reappointed as a delegate of the Eastern Partnership Civil Society Forum for the 2026-2028 term, signaling sustained international civic engagement.

The business model is that of a grant-funded cultural non-profit: revenue is not publicly disclosed, exhibitions such as the Clinic of Collective Representations (June 2026–June 2027) offer free admission, and income appears to derive from Polish public cultural funds, EU project grants, and project-based financing. The foundation operates with approximately 10 staff, is governed by its own board without disclosed parent or venture backing, and distributes content through physical gallery venues, public-space interventions in Wrocław, the survival.art.pl archive spanning 2007-2026, and its main arttransparent.org website. No M&A activity, funding rounds, or ownership changes were identified in available sources.
