Nataša Šušteršič Plotajs, graphic designer and member of the Škofja Loka Artist Association, will present a selection of her most important design projects (completed or those that are still ongoing) in which the author, also the recipient of the Grohar scholarship for 2020, participated.
The curator Biljana Ristić will take us through the collection, which presents the famed Slovenian writer, politician and a prominent figure in the world of economy Ivan Tavčar from the village of Poljane nad Škofjo Loko, and his wife Franja Tavčar, a political activist and humanitarian.
With its wealth of natural and cultural heritage, the Poljane Valley and the surrounding hills have always been a source of inspiration for artists and their works of art. The scenes and subjects from the land at the foot of Blegoš that are part of the exhibition on view at the Visoko Mansion were captured by the architect Tone Mlakar and show many long-lost and long-forgotten places, metaphorically illustrating bygone times.
The storytelling collective Tu in tam will share stiries for the whole emotional range. Dark, happy, tearful... bizarre. We will discover a strange case or who Giske is. What was the fate of the giantess and her lover. In which hazel does the devil live? How a woman got her way. Do you know who Venus is in the sky? Why wasn't the troll at the baptism?
Children, you are warmly invited to join our storyteller Karla B. Rihtaršič on a walk through the world of Ive's illustrations, presented at the exhibition Ive Šubic – illustrator and cultural figure. You will hear stories from the artist's life, and on top of that, some from the books that Ive illustrated.
The Croatian artist Goran Tomčić, whose exhibition titled Pompom Nets - Škofja Loka, is currenly on view at the Ivan Grohar Gallery, will give a lecture on the history of participatory work in art history and today.
Katja Preša is one of the wittiest storytellers in the Slovenian area. She embarked on the storytelling journey with the "Za dva groša fantazije" team of Radio Študent. She is happy to tell stories to both children and adults, preferably in a humorous way.
On Prešeren Day we invite you to visit the Škofja Loka Museum, Škopar House, Ivan Grohar Gallery and France Mihelič Gallery and other locations. We will be open from 10 am to 5 pm, admission will be free! Welcome!
The Pompom Nets exhibition is a spatial installation by Croatian artist Goran Tomčić (1964) living in Berlin.

The stories that Lukavi Luka and Šmentane muhe have in their saddlebags are mostly old folk tales from Notranjska, which they inherited from their grandparents. They talk about the creation of the world, the three sister rivers, about St. Peter and Jesus, when they were walking around the world, about why the stupid farmer has the fattest potato, about the soldier Pust, King Matjaž and other sayings and things.
