Welcome to the heart of our art grant foundation Paulina Zelek, the driving force behind this foundation. Paulina's empathy for struggling artists stemmed from her own experiences navigating the financial hurdles of the art world. She firmly believed in providing a supportive platform for emerging talent, recognizing the transformative power of financial assistance in nurturing artistic growth.

Regrettably, Paulina departed from us in 2024, but her enduring legacy continues to inspire our foundation's mission.

The Polly Zee Art Foundation’s mission is to uphold Paulina’s vision. Our primary objective is clear: to empower emerging artists by providing financial support and resources to catalyze their artistic journeys. Whether you're a painter, sculptor, or multimedia, our foundation stands ready to bolster your career aspirations.
