Anna Bogucka - a native of Zakopane - is a graduate of the Hotel Technical School. She belongs to the Association of Folk Artists and to the Podhalan Union. Since childhood, her passion has been drawing and painting. Over time, her decorative talent developed into wonderful painted glass ornaments. Painted glass arises from the internal ‘force’ of creation. Eugeniusz Bogucki was born in Niepołomice in Subcarpathia, where he graduated from High School. He lives in Zakopane by choice. He became a Tatra guide in 1952. The beauty of the Tatras, as well as the culture and customs of this region, aroused in him a youthful interest in art, in particular wooden sculpture. After retiring, he revived his passion for sculpture. Contact ul.

Located in the centre, but at a safe distance from the bustling Krupówki, the Yam Gallery is the fruit of friendship. It all began in the early 90s, when Jaga Pozdiejew-Kozak and Anna Tarnowska-Wojak, friends and graduates of the sculpture class at the Antoni Kenar School of Arts in Zakopane, decided to make their dreams a reality - to open their own art gallery. In the gallery you can see and buy works from artists, and not only those from Zakopane. The exhibition consists, among others, of the works of Jan, Piotr and Stanisław Młodożeniec, Ewa Szultz-Podolska, and Marian Gromada. Contact ul. Krupówki 63 34-500 Zakopane tel. + 48 18 20 669 84 www.galeriayam.com Gallery is open Monday - Saturday 11.00 am to 2:00 pm and 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm
