Sedona, AZ & Jasło, Poland — A unique international photography exhibition “Sedona Through the Lens”, that explores the breathtaking landscapes and vibrant cultural heritage of Sedona, will debut in Poland this summer as part of the expanding Jasło–Sedona Sister Cities friendship.
The project was proposed by Edyta Wieczorek, Chair of the Jasło Sister Cities Committee, and curated by Linda Goldenstein, longtime Sedona arts advocate, as a creative way to promote mutual understanding and artistic connection between the two communities.
The first exhibition will be held August 24–31, 2025, in Jasło’s Main Square, where twenty striking images will be presented in a high-quality outdoor format. The exhibition, which includes 11 contemporary photographs from Sedona photographers and 9 historic photographs courtesy of Nate Myers of the Sedona Heritage Museum. will be accessible to the public throughout the final week of August.
Each image will feature bilingual captions (English and Polish), with titles and photographer credits, offering a cultural bridge for Polish audiences to experience Sedona through local eyes.
The Sedona Heritage Museum, Sedona Sister Cities Association, and partner artists have collaborated on this inaugural collection which will showcase both horizontal and vertical works suitable for large-scale outdoor display.
This photo exchange marks the beginning of an ongoing cultural dialogue between the two cities—building friendships and fostering international understanding one image at a time.
Plans are underway for a reciprocal exhibit of Jasło photographs, commemorating its 650 year history, to be hosted in Sedona in 2026.
