Thanks to the KPO dla Kultury grant, all On Art events are free of charge!

The best films on art from around the world!

On Art is one of the few events in Poland entirely dedicated to films on art. For many years, we have been presenting Polish audiences with films about artists and phenomena from various continents, cultures, and fields of art. The festival has a unique formula – it lasts throughout the summer, takes place in many Polish cities, and the film screenings are organized as free open-air cinemas accessible to all viewers. The December Final Screenings mark the culmination of this year’s edition of the On Art Festival. They include screenings at Kino Luna in Warsaw, screenings in five Polish cities, and online festival film screenings.

On Art online – starting December 13!

Access code: ONART25

Selected films from the On Art Festival are also available online – on a dedicated festival website. This edition of the Festival starts on December 13, 2025, and lasts for a month.
