Craftica

Craftica Gallery was founded in 2024 by the Starak Family Foundation. As one of the first design galleries in Poland, Craftica aims to build recognition and promote Polish applied arts on the international stage, highlighting its unique character and strong ties to national cultural heritage. Since its launch in October of last year, the gallery has participated in the NOMAD fair in St. Moritz and at Salone del Mobile in Milan.

The gallery's concept grew out of the long-standing passion of its founder, Anna Woźniak-Starak, who is deeply committed to promoting Polish artists on the international art scene. Her efforts have been widely recognized: Anna Woźniak-Starak has been awarded Poland’s highest cultural honor—the Gold Medal for Merit to Culture Gloria Artis. She is also an ambassador of the Homo Faber festival in Venice and has collaborated for nearly a decade with La Biennale di Venezia, organizing exhibitions of Polish artists as part of the festival’s official program through the Starak Family Foundation. The Foundation also runs cultural patronage programs, including the Kunszt competition, which supports creators working in applied arts.
