OpenMusE Has Extended Its Team: Introducing Culture Hub Poland

A place where ideas are exchanged, connections are made, and culture is recognised as a vital force for the future

From Music Export Poland (MExP) to Culture Hub Poland (CHP).
After eight intense and fruitful years—organising 20 trade missions across three continents, supporting 411 representatives of the Polish music industry, training 1,391 people, inviting 5,230 participants to online training sessions, and launching the brand-new showcase festival and conference Music Week Poland (held in Warsaw in late June 2025)—MExP is transforming into Culture Hub Poland. A new adventure awaits!

At its core, Culture Hub Poland will continue the legacy of Music Export Poland, leading strategic programmes and events such as Music Week Poland, coordinating sector-wide initiatives like One Voice for European Music, and fostering cooperation through networks including EMEE, ICORN, and Keychange.
But CHP will, of course, expand its activities broadly and boldly. It will aim to strengthen the creative and cultural sectors in Poland and enhance support for the wider ecosystem of artists, cultural professionals, and creative initiatives.

As a creative hub, CHP plans to operate nationally and internationally as a platform for collaboration, advocacy, and innovation—connecting individuals, organisations, and communities across the cultural field.

Culture Hub Poland’s activities will span a wide range of objectives. The main areas include:


  • Cross-sector programmes that nurture talent and professional growth.

  • A dedicated observatory to research and map the cultural and creative landscape.

  • Innovative learning formats tailored to the sector’s dynamic needs.

  • Initiatives that position culture as a driver of social change and sustainable development.

And where does Culture Hub Poland see its contribution to OpenMusE?
As an established entity, CHP will provide data on the Polish music scene—including music clubs and other venues—thereby contributing to the creation of an open-source data ecosystem on music in the EU. In addition, together with OpenMusE, Culture Hub Poland plans to collaborate on data concerning music creators and performers, in an effort to standardise the information available about them across different European markets.

In the words of Culture Hub Poland’s CEO, Tamara Kamińska: “Whether through research, training, or public dialogue, CHP will ensure that Polish creativity is visible, valued, and well supported—at home and abroad. Because Culture Hub Poland is more than an institution—it’s a meeting point. A place where ideas are exchanged, connections are made, and culture is recognised as a vital force for the future.”
