Mission

The Marek Maria Pienkowski Foundation regards artistic and scientific endeavors as integral to human culture and recognizes that the development of young aspiring artists and scientists is critical to the future of both disciplines.  These fundamental concepts guide the organization’s aim to support the development of talented youth through programs affording them opportunities to create visual art in all forms and research scientific concepts outside the pressures of life’s daily demands.  A critical element in all the Foundation’s programming is the cross-cultural environment it creates for participants from both disciplines.  This atmosphere enables them to challenge their own views as well as those of others to form global perspectives and sensitivities that help shape their work.

The Marek Maria Pienkowski Foundation is a Tennessee charitable non-profit corporation established by Marek Maria Pienkowski, M.D., Ph.D. on August 21, 2006.
In 2008, the Foundation was established in Poland as a Polish charitable organization. The two Foundations work jointly to promote their shared goals.
