Passions of Poland

Beginning in 1995, Maureen Bannon set out on a travel study to find her roots.  She was so struck by the passions and survival of the Polish people, her own strong sense of her heritage, and a deep comfort in these surroundings, that she has been trying to capture it ever since.  The QAC Centre for the Arts is proud to present the fruits of her labor, the story of the artist's Polish heritage as well as her continuing work to search for ancestors.  Though many documents were destroyed in the war, Maureen continues on with the help of like minded relatives.  Bannon was in Warsaw for the opening of the American Cultural Center in 1996, there meeting significant persons in the world of art.The artist would like to extend the availability of this exhibit to Polish communities, churches, or other centers of interest for future exhibition.  She is thankful to all her friends and family of Polish origin, both in America and Poland, for their guidance through this fulfilling project.You are invited to the opening of this very special show October 16th from 4:00-6:00 pm at 206 S Commerce St in Centreville, Maryland.  (***a previous version of his e-mail mistakenly stated the time for this event as 5-7pm, it is in fact 4-6pm***)For questions, please call our office at 410-758-2520 or e-mail QACArtsCoordinator@gmail.com.This show will be available to view virtually, starting on the 20th of October at QACACArtists.com
