Anna Ochmann – president of Foundation ARTeria (www.fundacja-arteria.org) and an editor-in-chief of BEDRIFT magazine (www.bedrift.pl).

She is a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow. During her professional career she has worked in production of cultural events (she has been involved in over 300 big concerts, including mass events, as well as small concerts of the best Polish and international performers), she worked in a public cultural institution (Dom Muzyki i Tańca/ House of Music and Dance in Zabrze) as an assistant manager and had her 'media' stage working as an executive editor of local television, local administration periodical and cultural monthly journal 'Sufler'.

She creates and coordinates projects financed from European funds UE, NMF and MF EOG, FIO, and is an expert on the cultural policy of the European Union (mostly on using the European funds in culture in the context of their influence on social and regional development and the contribution of culture to fight with exclusion).

Sometimes Anna reaches out for her brush or camera, which has resulted in a number of individual and collective exhibitions in Poland and abroad. Sometimes she designs and writes... not only limericks for her friends.

She likes painting of van Gogh, stunning the Italian dolce far niente in Cracow’s alleys and ... the view from Etruscan Fiesole on lying below the Renaissance Florence.
