The Starak Foundation was established in 2008. Its goal is to support and promote young, talented adults and provide them with balanced conditions to grow, invest in their passions and work on ideas. The Foundation brings its mission to life by working in to areas: Spectra Edu and Spectra Art Space.
Educational programs, part of the Spectra Edu branch, aim to support talented young students via:
-
- the Horizons Scholarship Program, managed in partnership with the Czernecki Foundation, supports high school students from rural areas and low-income families;
- the Spark grant program which supports students and teachers from Polish public art schools in the implementation of their original educational and artistic projects.
Within the Spectra Art Space project, the Foundation has created a space dedicated to art. It organizes contemporary art exhibitions, cultural events, discussion panels, lectures and thematic workshops. The exhibition program is built based on the private art collection of Anna and Jerzy Starak, which has been available to the public ever since it was brought to life.
Our partnership with the Starak Foundation in developing the Horizons Scholarship Program is the focal point of our cooperation. The Starak Foundation currently finances 120 scholarships.
