The Association of Polish Artists in Great Britain (APA) is a membership society of painters, sculptors, graphic artists, mixed-media artists and photographers. All artists are of Polish descent, being either born or resident in Great Britain. Since 2004, when Poland entered the European Union, an influx of new artists has contributed to an exciting and challenging mix of styles and attitudes in the Association. APA is a democratic society without a President. It is run by a Committee which consists of a Secretary, Treasurer and two other members all of whom are elected for a period of three years at the Annual General Meeting.

There are two Members’ Exhibitions held each year, in Spring & in Autumn, at the POSK Gallery 238 King Street London W6. APA does not have open exhibitions to which non-members are invited.

The Autumn 2010 exhibition is dedicated to ‘Chopin’, one of Poland’s greatest musicians. The exhibition will run 31 October till 12 November.
