The collection
The collection contains over 800 artworks and enables a unique insight into almost 50 years of artistic endeavours since socialistic times. The highlights have been presented in the bilingual almanac 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 was 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.
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.
