Gorey Sketching Competition
Our Polish Cultural Association Gorey.pl, which aims to foster close relations between the native and Polish populations of the town, prepared a competition to find the best sketch of Gorey and Gorey’s area landmarks and historical places, such as Gorey Market House, the 1798 Monument etc. The winning sketch will be printed on eco-friendly canvas bags. The competition opens on the 11th of June and closes on the 25th of June 2020.
Due to Covid-19, we cannot depend on finance for our events and the PolskaÉire Festival from other sources, so profit from selling the bags will help to fund our cultural events in the near future.
