Agnieszka Laska Dancers with the much-appreciated support of The Polish Library Building Association and Polish Hall, now in preparation for its 100th Anniversary.
We invite all supporters and lovers of fine art music and dance to continue celebrating with us, our 5th Anniversary and one more year of making fine artistic productions in Portland, the Pacific Northwest and Europe. This will be one of the first festive celebrations hosted in the newly renovated Polish Hall.
In particular, we are raising funds toward our June 19-20-21 performances at Image Theatre and our upcoming tour to Poland in November of this year.

Agnieszka Laska Dancers will lead the evening's entertainment with excerpts from the company's burgeoning repertory, now spanning 5 years.
In addition to a great Polish dinner, silent auction services and items, joining ALD and Emcee Don Kern are performing artists
Inés Voglar, Nancy Wood, Paul Safer, Jeff Winslow, Gary Noland, wunderkind Edison Tsai
...and others

At the forefront of silent auction items are company photos by our stalwart photographic artist Chris Leck - brilliant framed dance images, offered at temptingly low minimum bidding thresholds. These photos are a great addition to the collection of lovers of photography, dance and fine art.
