SAO Art

WE CONTRAST THE SOLID REALITY OF ARCHITECTURE WITH THE BOUNDLESS EXPRESSION OF CREATIVITY. WE CURATE ART TO ELEVATE OUR INVESTMENTSAND CONSTRUCT SPACES THAT ARE AS BEAUTIFUL AS THEY ARE FUNCTIONAL.

Investing in art

We strategically invest in art for its intrinsic and appreciable value and its potential to enrich the aesthetics of our architectural projects. Our focus is on curating a diverse portfolio that captures the essence of Poland’s art scene.

Art enhancing architecture

By combining our collection of artworks with our architecture, we create emotional connections to those works in the communities that experience them. This carefully curated approach adds appreciable value to both the art itself and the spaces they’re displayed.

Supporting Young Artists

We are committed to nurturing emerging talents, supporting young artists by commissioning their work, and offering them exposure through integration with our projects. This support enriches our spaces while fostering a vibrant artistic community.

Connecting creatives

We act as a conduit for the art scene in Poland by hosting artist meetings and exhibitions that showcase contemporary talents. Our efforts consolidate the community, promote artistic exchange, and cement Krakow as a centre for artistic excellence.
