About Us

KSIUTY W ŚRODKU is an independent art gallery and cultural space located in the heart of Warsaw’s Praga Północ district. Since its opening, the gallery has become a meeting point for those who are drawn to unconventional art, spiritual experimentation, and the raw energy of Praga itself. Our name reflects a certain local spirit – a mixture of humor, defiance, and intimacy – while our program invites visitors into a world where tradition and psychedelia collide.

The gallery’s core is a cycle of contemporary, psychonautical reinterpretations of the Virgin Mary. These works – paintings, graphics, and small sculptures – shift the sacred into a different dimension, offering a playful yet deeply personal dialogue with spirituality. Beyond this, KSIUTY W ŚRODKU hosts exhibitions that mix underground aesthetics with visionary art, giving voice to creators who do not fit into conventional white-cube spaces.

But KSIUTY W ŚRODKU is not only about visual art. Our space regularly transforms into a stage for intimate concerts, experimental music sessions, and spontaneous gatherings that blur the boundaries between audience and performer. Visitors may stumble upon an evening of live soundscapes, a neighborhood storytelling circle, or a late-night jam. These moments capture the true soul of the gallery: a place where art is lived, not only observed.

Equally important to us is the local community of Praga. We celebrate the district’s spirit – gritty, warm, unpredictable – by inviting neighbors, travelers, and alternative tourists from across Europe to participate in our events. For many, discovering KSIUTY W ŚRODKU becomes a highlight of exploring Warsaw, a reminder that the city’s cultural heartbeat often beats loudest off the beaten path.

KSIUTY W ŚRODKU continues to evolve as a living organism: a gallery, a salon, a concert hall, and sometimes just a home for those searching for something different. We invite you to step inside, to share in the stories, images, and sounds that have grown within these walls – and to carry a little piece of Praga’s magic with you when you leave.
