October 27, 2025 - PRO ARTE Award 2025
A special honor for art in Western Pomerania
The "Pro Arte" award from the Marshal of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship is one of the most prestigious honors for art and culture in the region. It recognizes individuals who, through their artistic work, commitment, and cultural activities, make an outstanding contribution to the development of the West Pomeranian cultural landscape – regionally, nationally, and often far beyond.
On the evening of the festive PRO ARTE Awards Gala 2025 , hosted by Marshal Olgierd Geblewicz , the opera house in Szczecin Castle was bathed in an impressive light. The gala was marked by emotional moments, inspiring speeches, musical performances, and appreciation for those who shape art and culture with extraordinary passion.
This year's award winners include renowned artists such as Tomasz Lazar , Piotr Pauk , Janusz Janiszewski – and with particular pleasure:
Gina Malinowski , painter, curator, cultural initiator and artist of our gallery Exclusive European Art .
She was deeply moved to accept her PRO ARTE Award 2025 – a sign of recognition for her decades of dedication, her artistic sensitivity, and her ability to connect people through art. Her international plein air paintings, exhibitions, and the cultural project "From the Mountains to the Sea" have had a lasting impact on cultural life in Western Pomerania.
As a gallery, we are proud and grateful to have an artist in our ranks whose work inspires and touches people far beyond our borders. This award is not only a tribute to her past achievements, but also an impetus for future projects that connect art, humanity, and cultural exchange.
We wholeheartedly congratulate Gina Malinowski on this extraordinary award and celebrate with her a moment that will be remembered for a long time.
