The collection contains over 800 artworks and enables a unique insight in almost 50 years of artistic endavours since socialistic times. The highlights have been presented in the bilingual almanach published for the colony's 20th anniversary. Under the initiative of the Kranj-based Gallery of the Recipients of the Prešeren Award a travelling exhibition has been prepared with the works by Zvest Apollonio, Avgust Černigoj, Herman Gvardjančič, Zdenko Huzjan, Stane Jarm, Zmago Jeraj, Metka Krašovec, Tomaž Kržišnik, Lojze Logar, Miha Maleš, Maksim Sedej, Jože Slak, Jože Tisnikar, Vinko Tušek and others.
In the 2008 year of the intercultural dialogue the colony hosted more international participants coming from the newly acceded EU countries (e.g. Sean Kane from Slovakia, Masszi Ferenc from Hungary, Einar Vene from Estonia, Augustinas Žygimantas from Lithuania).
Background
The colony was initiated by Tone Leskovšek, local painter and teacher and backed up by a group of artists (Ivo Seljak - Čopič, Ive Šubic, Zoran Didek) as well as the Ljubljana Fine Artists Association. From 1965 till 2005 it was managed by Nande Razboršek, now succeeded by painter Nikolaj Beer as artistic director.
