Since its opening in 2005 Gosia Koscielak Gallery has promoted international, cutting-edge art and artists through a series of inventive exhibitions, as well as through public space projects, online and virtual reality projects, and gallery performances and lectures.

The Gosia Koscielak Gallery represents contemporary American and International artists in all media. Art works shown reflect the complexity and diversity of current aesthetic practices, spanning cultures and disciplines, and creating a bridge between new media and established art forms. The gallery is a Global - Local (GLOCAL) Art Platform providing an opportunity for Chicagoans to experience the constantly changing international art scene. Gosia Koscielak Gallery promotes a strong curatorial program which represents a broad context of art based on very personal, individual approaches to the exhibition process.  Gosia Koscielak has a transcultural vision of the gallery which reflects aesthetic and interpersonal communications that span time and cultural space; she focuses on a fluid, transcultural, and personal dialogue in art.

Gosia Malgorzata Koscielak, Ph.D., founded Gosia Koscielak Gallery in 2005. She graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Wroclaw, Poland (MFA'86, MFA'87, PhD’92) and from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (MFA'94) where she was a Fulbright Scholar. She has been the Artistic Director of a Rekwizytornia Gallery at the Contemporary Theatre in Wroclaw (1987-89), exhibition designer at the Field Museum in Chicago (1997-99), a lecturer, and, since 1986, an independent curator. Among the numerous international exhibitions she has curated are Homage a Henryk Stazewski in 1989 (Poland - Holland - Greece - USA), Transcultural Visions: Polish - American Contemporary Art at the Hyde Park Art Center in Chicago (2001), the National Museum in Szczecin (2002), and Ed Paschke: Prints exhibition at the National Museum in Wroclaw (2004).

Since 1998 Gosia Koscielak and Elzbieta Koscielak have been co-producing curatorial projects committed to a series of themes which they conceptualized - Transcultural Visions, Crossmediale, New Eco, and In Transit.
