The basie sources include the Archive of the Leon Wyczółkowski District Museum
in Bydgoszcz and infórmation contained in Polish press of the period in ąuestion. There
were two main goals to be achieved for the Pomeranian artists: while aspiring to eąual
the art represented by morę important artistic centres of the country to show a close
connection with their own region and its Polish heritage.
During the interwar period, a number of artistic organisations appeared in Byd-
goszcz. The most significant were the local branch of the Society for the Encourage-
ment of the Fine Arts (Towarzystwo Zachęty Sztuk Pięknych), established in September
1921, and the Artistic and Cultural Council (Rada Artystyczno-Kulturalna), founded
in December 1934.
The first exhibition of the Pomeranian Association of Visual Artists (Związek
Plastyków Pomorskich) was opened in December 1930 as a summary of the Associa-
tion s achievements of that year. It comprised 92 works by 15 artists. Subseąuent exhi-
bitions in December 1931 and December 1932 served a similar purpose. The turning
point in the history of Pomeranian artistic associations took place in 1933 when - as
a result of an internal conflict - the Group of Pomeranian Visual Artists (Grupa Plas-
tyków Pomorskich) was formed. The Group ąuickly became the leading artistic force
of the region, with their first exhibition opening in December 1933.
The 4th annual exhibition of the Group of Pomeranian Visual Artists took place
in December 1934, simultaneously with the founding ofthe Artistic and Cultural Coun-
cil (Rada Artystyczno-Kulturalna) in Bydgoszcz. The Council coordinated, implemented,
and documented artistic movements in specially dedicated sections for literaturę, musie,
visual arts and radio, ąuickly becoming an intermediary between artists and their audi-
ence. Thanks to their effórts, the first Salon Bydgoski exhibition was organised in 1936.
That very year the Group of Pomeranian Visual Artists changed their name to the Group
of Visual Artists of Bydgoszcz.
Both organizations lacked a well-defined artistic programme, whereas their members
were mainly connected for non-artistic motivations, such as the possibility to exhibit
their works in well-known institutions or prestige.
Ali of the discussed displays were widely covered in the local press, especially
by Henryk Kuminek and Marian Turwid, two leading art critics of the region.
