We invite you to the presentation of the catalogue of the exhibition 40+ ... Through Time and Beyond ... which will be presented by ZUŠL president and co-editor of the catalogue Agata Pavlovec, followed by an appearance by actor and ZUŠL member Igor Žužek, who will interpret the poetry and prose of ZUŠL members. The evening will be concluded with a guided tour of the 40+ ... Through Time and Beyond ... exhibition, led by one of the exhibition's curators, Boštjan Soklič.

We will follow the guide through the 40+ ... Skozi čas in naprej ... exhibition getting to know the rich artistic activity of the Škofja Loka artists. This will be followed by a workshop in the castle gallery, where children will choose their favorite picture, draw it and give it their own touch.

The three storytellers, each in her own style, will tell the story of the heroines, the insubordinate, rebellious, persistent, those who do not wait for their fate to happen but take it bravely and sometimes boldly into their own hands. They will tell stories about women on a journey full of transformations, trials, difficult tasks and not always happy ends.

For the fifth time in a row, on Saturday, November 30, 2019, we warmly invite you to the opening of the exhibition Windows of Imagination in the Old Town of Škofja Loka. The festive gathering at the 2019 Windows of the Imagination will begin at 6 pm in front of the Ivan Grohar Gallery, when we, together with the narrator Karla B. Rihtaršič, set out to discover imaginative exhibitions and exhibitions by the Škofja Loka creators. Join us on this first walk through the Showcase of the Imagination and take part in our raffle at the same time!

So familiar and told over and over again, the interlace of romantic and tragic stories. But in the stories that narrators Renata Lapanja and Andrea Pandolfo will introduce to us, love and death are not like those of Shakespeare, nor of those who claim to be always in pairs and inseparable. The authors do not meet them in a way that they call them mere elemental forces, instead they see them as an everyday component of life, something that accompanies and guides every human being, something that is in principle always present but not necessarily all-encompassing. They tell people's stories of love and death directly, simply and honestly.
