We reported in July this year that the long-serving director of the Bolesławiec Cultural Centre – International Ceramic Centre Ewa Lijewska-Małachowska was leaving the position.

It is not yet known who will become head of BOK – MCC. Pursuant to an order issued by Mayor Piotr Roman, the duties of director of the institution will temporarily be performed by Kornel Filipowicz, Deputy Mayor of Bolesławiec. The justification for the document in question reads:

The current director of the Bolesławiec Cultural Centre – International Ceramic Centre in Bolesławiec, Ms Ewa Lijewska-Małachowska, submitted her resignation from the position held on 29 July 2019. The three-month notice period will end on 31 October 2019. Pursuant to Article 16a of the Act of 25 October 1991 on the Organisation and Conduct of Cultural Activity, until a director selected under the provisions of Article 15—appointment and dismissal of the director of a cultural institution—or Article 16—a competition for the position of director of a cultural institution—is appointed, or until management of the cultural institution is entrusted to a natural or legal person under Article 15a—entrusting the management of a cultural institution—the organiser may entrust a designated person with performing the duties of director for a period not exceeding one year, in the case of a cultural institution other than an artistic institution.

In this situation, issuing this order is essential and necessary to ensure continuity in directing and managing the cultural institution.

Mr Kornel Przemysław Filipowicz has the necessary qualifications and management experience to perform the duties of director of BOK-MCC. As the Second Deputy Mayor, he has supervised the cultural institutions of the Municipality of Bolesławiec since December 2010 and guarantees the continued effective operation of this exceptionally important cultural institution for the city.

K. Filipowicz will perform the duties of director of BOK – MCC from 1 November until the competition is resolved and a new director is appointed,
