Happy new year !

Dear Friends of the Jaroszynski Art Museum,

During this festive season, first and foremost, please allow us to extend our most sincere wishes for a serene and inspiring new year.

The 2025 JAM season has been particularly dynamic and full of wonderful progress. We would like to share with you some highlights from this past year.

Polish Television

A documentary about Karin and Tadeusz Jaroszynski was filmed this summer by TVP – Polish Television and was broadcast last week. We look forward to sharing this film with you soon.

2025 Events

The year 2025 was rich in meetings, exhibitions, and special moments.
We warmly thank everyone who contributed, in ways big and small, to the success of these events through their commitment, presence, or loyal support.

JAM Café: A New Dynamic

The JAM Café is entering a new phase.
Gabrielle de Drézigué, who already runs the neighboring restaurant Le Presbytère, is taking over its management. She knows the museum very well, as it is traditionally at Le Presbytère that post-event JAM meals are held. We are delighted to welcome her.

We also extend our sincere thanks to Richard Villeneuve, who skillfully managed the JAM Café in 2025, and we wish him all the best for the next steps in his journey.

The museum and the JAM Café will remain open during the Christmas holidays. Gabrielle eagerly awaits you there.

2026 Memberships, Donations & HelloAsso

2026 memberships are now open.
You can join online via our HelloAsso page:

The Jaroszynski Art Museum has recently been recognized as being of general public interest.
This distinction now allows any donation made by a French tax payer, in addition to membership to benefit from a 66% tax reduction: thus, a donation of €100 represents a real cost of only €33 after deduction. You can support the JAM by clicking this link to make a donation.

We have chosen HelloAsso to simplify the membership and event ticketing process. Of course, it remains possible to complete the attached paper form, according to your preference.

Looking Ahead to 2026

The year 2026 promises to be just as exciting, with a program rich in lectures, concerts, exhibitions, and new partnerships.

We already invite you to save the date of January 23, 2026, at 7:00 PM:
Claude Blanchemaison, former French Ambassador to Moscow, Hanoi, New Delhi, and Madrid, will present his latest work, *Fragments d’un parcours aventureux*. This diplomat from Loches, with an international career, will share his experience and reflections during a special lecture.
You can reserve your tickets via HelloAsso, by email, or by phone at 0610086038.

You will find at the end of this message a few hints announcing our 2026 program (still in French, sorry ! We’ll translate the page as soon as we can!)

Thanking you for your trust and loyalty, we send you our warmest wishes for a year-end filled with art, discovery, and happiness.

Welcome to the Jaroszynski Art Museum

Dear friends,

I am Karolina, Karin and Tadeusz Jaroszynski´s daughter. They both were artists and died a few years ago.
I am working on developing their their reputation worldwide. My family and I have created the Jaroszynski Art Museum in Loches (Loire Valley, France) dedicated to their art. We are also working on publishing a book and creating a catalogue raisonné (comprehensive catalogue).

We are trying to get in contact with people who knew my parents such as :

– owners of either Karin or Tadeusz’ art –
Photos, medium, date, dimensions and history of the artwork would be wonderful. This is to make the catalogue raisonné.

– former students –
Anyone who took art classes with them in South Africa. First on Eastwood road then Parktown North. For those who have become artists, perhaps we could organise a “Jaroszynski/ska Pupils exhibition” at our museum.

– friends, work and school colleagues –
We would also like to get hold of any of their friends. This is to enrich the book we intend to write with stories and information.

We are very excited about this wonderful project. We hope that you can help and that we get many answers ! Please don’t hesitate to share.

Kind regards,

Karolina
