About The Polish Cultural Council

The Polish Cultural Council’s mission is to showcase the finest achievements in the Polish arts and sciences and helps to promote unity among the regions’ Polish-American community.

PCC achieves its mission by presenting Polish themed cultural events, programs, lectures, and exhibits. Often, we accomplish this by partnering with community institutions such as WQED Multimedia, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh Cultural Trust, Pittsburgh Filmmakers, and the Carnegie Science Center.

The PCC also acts as conduit for Pittsburgh organizations working with official Polish delegations, professors, musicians, artists, etc. who call upon us to help in hosting these distinguished guests.

The PCC, as a non-profit, 501(c)3 corporation and is an outgrowth of The Central Council of Polish Organizations (CCPO), which was founded in 1930. The PCC was born out of the need to coordinate the numerous activities of dozens of Polish cultural and fraternal groups active at the time. Today, under a new and expanded mandate, the PCC acts as the source for most of the Polish cultural activity in western Pennsylvania.
