The American Institute of Polish Culture
Mrs Blanka A. Rosenstiel founded the The American Institute of Polish Culture (AIPC) in 1972 as a non-profit, non-sectarian, tax-exempt Florida Corporation. The aims of the Institute are twofold: first, to share with the American society the heritage of Poland, which has contributed to many ways to Western civilization; second, to promote the scientific and artistic endeavors of Polish-Americans.
There is a growing awareness of the value of preserving traditions and identities in the ethnic groups that constitute the broad spectrum of America. Toward this end, the Institute has participated in, organized and/or sponsored hundreds of events locally and nationally for more than 40 years. It has presented concerts, lectures, seminars co-pproduced with leading universities, poetry readings, radio and television programs, book signing parties and the “Polish Film of the Month” series. It has designed to traveling exhibitions – a 60-panel exhibition titled “the Polish Perspective”, which was inaugurated at Duke University and traveled to more than hundred American universities; and the other, “Polish Music Today” featuring musical scores of eleven contemporary Polish composers on 26 panels. The Institute helps to bring contemporary Polish filmmakers and their work to Miami International Film Festival; in 2004 it also produced a documentary about Warsaw Uprising, titled “Honor of the City “, which has been distributed free of charge to American schools, libraries, organizations and individuals.
The AIPC has translated and published more than 20 books, including the five volume history of Poland – “Saga of a Nation” by Paweł Jasienica and the rare “Accomplished Senator” by Warzynice Grzymała Goslicki (1530-1607). The yearly magazine, Good News, is set to all members and distributed to interested parties all the way through the year.
Each year, the Institute holds the International Polonaise Ball, which serves as fundraiser. There are annual Christmas and Easter parties for members and friends.
In 1998, the Institute led a fundraising campaign with the establishment of the Kościuszko Chair of Polish Studies at the University of Virginia. The first chair holder was Prof. Wojciech Roszkowski of the University of Warsaw. The Kosciuszko Chair in Polish Studies is now at the Institute of World Politics and the chair holder is Dr Marek Chodakiewicz.
Our endeavors have received make stronger from the state and local governments, the enthusiastic participation of other ethnic groups in the community and the friendly cooperation of the press, all of which help to support our leading role in the cultural life of the community. We have many plans for new activities to promote knowledge about Poland and American Polonia. Buying this book you too make stronger the activities of the Institute.
