She joined the board of the Modern Women's Fund Committee of the Museum of Modern Art, New York in 2015, and has been a board member of Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw for almost 10 years.

Muzeum Susch

Muzeum Susch, founded by Kulczyk, opened on 2 January 2019, in Susch, Switzerland. It predominantly features works by renowned Polish avant-garde and contemporary artists such as Monika Sosnowska, Magdalena Abakanowicz, Piotr Uklański, Mirosław Bałka, Zofia Kulik, Paulina Olowska and Joanna Rajkowska.

Art Stations Foundation / Stary Browar Nowy Taniec

Since 2004, Art Stations Foundation by Grażyna Kulczyk has been providing extensive support to the development of contemporary choreography through its performative programme based in Poznań, recognized internationally under the name Stary Browar Nowy Taniec / Old Brewery New Dance.  Conceived and curated by Joanna Leśnierowska, it provided the Polish and international dance community with a unique meeting point in Central and Eastern Europe – a platform for research, creation and choreographic (self)reflection bringing forward the art of choreography in dialogue with other disciplines, examining its history, theory and future, revisiting and interrogating its own artistic, but also political and social, content and contexts.

Stary Browar Nowy Taniec is located at the Stary Browar complex in Poznan, which Grażyna Kulczyk bought in 1998, and sold in 2015, for a reported €290 million to Deutsche Asset Management.
