ABSTRACT
The article considers how Facebook service impacts its users’ patterns of experiencing and cocreating
culture. The discussion is based on the results of the 2010 research regarding Facebook activity of
Warsaw cultural institutions conducted by the authors. The text attempts to answer the question whether
Facebook has a positive effect on the cultural life of a specific local community and whether Facebook
activity can be interpreted as beneficial participation in culture, as defined by Andrzej Tyszka.
