For ten days, on the turn of September and October 2008, in locality of Pulawy and Kazimierz Dolny, the open - air painting workshops took place.
An inspiration for this event was Paula Pokorny-Ziemba who is a great artist from Wroclaw. 
The author of the idea of organizing the open-air painting workshops with members of Kiwanis for talented young people among whom the most gifted one is chosen to be granted artistic scholarship, is Beata Santarek from K.I. club Pulawy. She, as the Commissioner of the event, undertook this difficult and innovatory enterprise. Beata was supported in the organizational matters -she could count on the members of her club, the host of this region-Kiwanis International Club Pulawy.
The foundations of "International Open-air Painting in Pulawy" were laid out..The preparations for this event took a few months. Firstly, a general plan was made and afterwards the research for financial support began.
