Markovic presenting the authors of the exhibition, and then announced upcoming programs in the Gallery of the Club- an exhibition of drawings by Momo Kapor and photos from the legacy of Nadezda Petrovic as well as the Memorial Collection "Pavle Beljanski".

"Art Colony has an undeniable importance in the culture of the region. This is why the project has been funded by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Serbia in the last few years, which made it easier to organize the whole show, "as Amra Hodzic Jejna from the Cultural Center" Novi Pazar”, explained stating she was honored that the exhibition had been opened at the Central Club

The collection features 450 works of artists of different schools, and the exhibition features the works of eight artists.

Ljubica Jelisavac Katic, selector of the exhibition spoke of each artist individually. "I wanted to show that art colonies are not something that is outdated, regardless of the fact that there are fewer colonies and no one is investing in them. That is why I am proud of the organization of the colony, and especially of the authors, "said Mrs. Jelisavac Katic.

The exhibition will be open until 13 March, every day except Sunday, from 11 to 19. No entrance fee is charged
