Małe Formy Malarskie w Parku Wilsona turns a summer afternoon into a welcoming chance to make art outdoors. The free meetings invite people of different ages and experience levels to sit near the pond, paint together and enjoy one of Łazarz’s best-known green spaces. With materials supplied and no artistic background required, the event removes the usual barriers to joining a workshop.

Painting Without Pressure
Małe Formy Malarskie w Parku Wilsona is a series of nine open-air meetings organised by Międzypokoleniowa Pracownia Malarstwa na Łazarzu. The project brings participants together to paint, talk and experiment in an informal setting. Its approach is based on “creative minimalism”: working with modest formats and limited materials while leaving room for individual interpretation. This is not a formal class built around copying a model or producing a perfect result. The focus is curiosity, observation and the pleasure of making something with other people.

July Dates to Put in the Calendar
Małe Formy Malarskie w Parku Wilsona has three confirmed July 2026 sessions: Friday, July 3; Tuesday, July 14; and Tuesday, July 28. Each meeting runs from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The July 3 session has already taken place, leaving two more opportunities to join this month. The full July schedule appears in local listings connected to the organiser’s Facebook event. Participation is free, so visitors can come without buying a ticket or attending the entire series.
A Workshop Beside the Pond
Małe Formy Malarskie w Parku Wilsona takes place in Park Wilsona, near the benches beside the pond. The event works less like an indoor lesson and more like a relaxed neighbourhood gathering. Participants can settle on a blanket, look at the trees, water, birds and passing park life, then use those surroundings as a starting point. The location offers shade, space and a calmer atmosphere than a busy studio. It also makes the workshop easy to combine with a walk through Łazarz or a quiet break after work or sightseeing.
Materials Are Ready, Curiosity Is Enough
Małe Formy Malarskie w Parku Wilsona is open to children, teenagers, adults and seniors, and official information confirms that previous painting experience is not needed. Organisers provide the art materials, so participants do not need paints, brushes or specialist equipment. The suggested packing list is short: bring a blanket for sitting on the grass and come ready to take part. Comfortable clothes and water are sensible additions for a summer afternoon. Because the meetings are outdoors, visitors should check the organiser’s page before leaving in case bad weather changes the plan.
An Event for More Than Art Regulars
Małe Formy Malarskie w Parku Wilsona has broad appeal because it does not separate “artists” from everyone else. Residents can treat it as an after-work activity, students can use it as a free creative break, and families can make something together without booking a paid course. Tourists may also find it a direct way to experience everyday Poznań beyond the main sightseeing routes. Art lovers can enjoy the shared process, while complete beginners can test painting in a friendly environment without pressure to perform or compare results.
Creativity as a Social Activity
Małe Formy Malarskie w Parku Wilsona shows how a small cultural project can make public space more active and inclusive. Sitting together with simple materials creates opportunities for conversation between people who might not otherwise meet. Children can work beside seniors, experienced painters can exchange ideas with first-timers, and people who arrive alone can still feel part of a group. The project received funding through a City of Poznań-supported local initiative, reinforcing its community focus and its aim of making culture accessible without an entry fee.
A Simple Plan for a Summer Afternoon
Małe Formy Malarskie w Parku Wilsona offers what many people want from summer: a reason to leave the house, spend time outside and try something creative without complicated preparation. Head to the benches by the pond on July 14 or July 28, bring a blanket and allow two hours for painting and conversation. Whether you live nearby, are exploring Poznań for a few days or have not touched a paintbrush since school, this free event makes joining easy. Check the organiser’s latest update, choose a session and spend an afternoon creating something in the park.
