Exhibition of Artworks from the International Art Colony Goričko 2026

 

From 19 June to 1 September 2026, the Palatium at Grad Castle hosts an exhibition of artworks created during the first International Art Colony Goričko 2026, which took place from 15 to 19 June at the Eta Estate in Markovci, located within Goričko Nature Park.

 

The art colony brought together five established artists from three European countries – Slovenia, Hungary and the Netherlands. Igor Banfi, Milena Gregorčič, Barbara Kstelec, József Gyécsek and Bram DHont each interpreted the landscape of Goričko in their own distinctive way, capturing its characteristic vistas, rich colour palette and the everyday life of the people who call this region home.

 

The exhibition is complemented by artworks created by pupils from Grad Primary School and Šalovci Primary School.
