We cooperate with local communities

Allegro Prize has given publicity to artists from around the world.

The jury consisting of names such as Anda Rottenberg, Monika Brodka and Jakub Julian Ziółkowski identified new talents and made it possible for those artists to present their art before a large audience. 3 winners were chosen and 10 distinctions awarded. The total value of awards was PLN 50 thousand.

Allegro and Contemporary Lynx, an international, independent magazine dedicated to arts, joined forces to support and promote visual arts. The collaboration is not a coincidence; since 2018, Allegro has also been developing a special “Collectors Zone” (Strefa Kolekcjonera) presenting contemporary art pieces and antiques. The goal behind the collaboration between Allegro and Contemporary Lynx was to support and promote artists all over the world. The competition made it possible to discover and financially support the most talented artists. Importantly, all fees for participation in Allegro Prize have been suspended taking into account the difficult circumstances that the pandemic has put so many artists in.

The competition was addressed to visual arts creators representing all disciplines who are students or graduates of academies of fine arts or art schools, without any age or geographic restrictions.

We have supported the "Podaruj Misia” initiative organized by Fundacja TVN „Nie jesteś sam” (You are not alone) since the day it was established, 15 years ago. During the pre-Christmas period, Allegro starts selling teddy bears. Every year, stars of TVN design the bear. The full proceeds from the sale are transferred for the purposes of treatment and rehabilitation of persons under the care of the Foundation. Importantly, those who buy the toy incur no other costs linked to their purchase. The cost of delivery is covered by Allegro.

In 2020, together with Fundacja Mam Marzenie (I Have a Dream Foundation) we organized the initiative called the Dream Dinner for the seventh time. Kolacja Marzeń is a special auction where the winning bidder enjoys dinner with a well-known star of show-business, a unique opportunity to enjoy a direct meeting with persons who are known from the front pages of newspapers and support a noble cause of helping the disadvantaged in the process. The proceeds from the initiative are spent on fulfilling the dreams of children under the care of Fundacja Mam Marzenie.
