| Abstract: |
The Polonaise Arts Club was founded in 1949 to stimulate the Polish-American artistic community in Cleveland, Ohio, and to
foster an appreciation of the arts in general. The Club also solicited donations for a permanent scholarship fund to the Cleveland
Institute of Art, beginning in 1951. The Polonaise Arts Club was affiliated with the American Council of Polish Cultural Clubs.
The collection consists of correspondence, committee lists, catalogs, lists of exhibitors, publicity materials, forms, guest
registers of the club's 1st (1950) through 12th (1962) art exhibitions, early membership applications and lists, incomplete
meeting notices (1949-1953), and personal correspondence of club president Elizabeth Nicka (1963).
