Paderewski Monument in Downtown Paso Robles Park

There is no person of greater international
fame who was a major landowner, grower and
winemaker in Paso Robles than
IGNACY JAN PADERWSKI.

The Paderewski Festival in Paso Robles will dedicate a 790-pound bronze likeness of Ignacy Jan Paderewski rendered by artist Jessie Corsaut near the entrance of the historic Carnegie Library in the Paso Robles Downtown City Park as part of festivities of the 2012 Paderewski Festival.

Polish by birth and a citizen of the world, Paderewski felt at home in America and returned to Paso Robles for long visits during the years 1914-1939. This monument celebrates the legacy of Paderewski that continues in Paso Robles thanks to the annual Paderewski Festival, youth piano competition, concerts and cultural exchanges with the province of Tarnow, Poland.

Erected with the support of city and county officials, and the government of the Republic of Poland, the monument was unveiled with fanfare on November 10, 2012. All funds for the statue construction and installation were raised by the Paderewski Festival Board of Directors. Donations from generous residents and businesses, as well as the government of the Republic of Poland, made this $42,900 monument project possible.
