#ART
Castle for Contemporary Art.!
Why not head inside a baroque building to see quality art for free? One of Warsaw’s best known public art galleries is located inside a castle perched on the city’s picturesque escarpment of Vistula river’s former riverbank. Head there for quality contemporary art (the current exhibit “Photon” will introduce you to young self-trained Polish artist Norman Leto; there is also „Slow Future” about economic de-growth and a retrospective of another Polish artist, Grzegorz Drozd). If quality art makes you hungry, grab some quality food at Quchnia Artystyczna (Artistic Quisine) restaurant overlooking the escarpment!
Afterwards, relax in a hammock in Green Jazdów summer space right outside the castle. And do not miss gas lanterns lining Agrykola street right next to the Castle!
Where: Centrum Sztuki Współczesnej (Centre for Contemporary Art), ul. Jazdów 2

#CONCERT/PARTY
Now that’s what we call a great birthday party!
Komety are a Warsaw band that pays tribute to rockabilly and its hometown, Warsaw. Their catchy songs and great albeit simple lyrics (sometimes in English, too) penned by the band’s leader Lesław prove that rock’n’roll is not dead just yet. This Thursay, hear Komety play for free at riverside bar Cud nad Wisłą (Miracle at Vistula River). And stay for the afterparty to hear our favorite local DJ collective, Warsaw City Rockers – all on the occasion of the club’s fifth birthday!
Where: Cud nad Wisłą (Miracle at Vistula), Bulwar Flotylli Wiślanej
