In Memory of Walter Cichocki The Polish American Cultural Center Museum is proud to honor the late Walter Cichocki, who was an ongoing member and artist for the Polish American Cultural Center Museum, 308 Walnut St., Philadelphia, PA 19106. Walter Cichocki began his involvement with the Polish American Cultural Center in 1984. He prepared Polish cultural related paintings for various exhibits and also prepared a new coloring contest artwork

each year for the October “Polish American Heritage Month” coloring contest which was used by thousands of children in over 20 schools. In 1987, Mr. Cichocki prepared 10 paintings for the Polish American Cultural Center Museum which opened in 1988. His wish was always to promote Polish and Polish American history and culture and he always asked people to support the museum’s efforts so that the Polish heritage would be sustained at the museum in America’s Most Historic Square Mile. His paintings have been enjoyed by millions of visitors since 1988. As we honor Mr. Cichocki, we will honor his request to welcome your donation in his memory.
