- ART WORKSHOP: SELF-PORTRAIT – MORNING, MIRROR, AND IMAGE?
Every era and stage of life perceives the individual and their role in society differently. Both certainly bring challenges, changes, and self-discovery. This image that is always with me, with all its changes—what is it that I see in myself? This question is at the heart of our art workshop, which uses the theme of the self-portrait as a starting point for a (self-)journey through image, reflection, observation, and expression. UGM offers this type of experience to groups who wish to complement their visual and experiential learning with a hands-on painting session. The workshop takes place in two parts: the first part is a guided viewing of selected artworks from the UGM Collection. We will explore the characteristics of self-portraits and draw inspiration for our own creations from works by renowned artists. The second part is hands-on and practical. Participants will paint with acrylics on cardboard. The main artistic element we will focus on is color, which will act as a litmus test to express ourselves. We will also provide a break with coffee and snacks. This workshop can also serve as a unique teambuilding opportunity, bringing colleagues together through creativity and dialogue. Art encourages different perspectives and ideas and inspires thinking outside the box.
No prior knowledge or experience in visual arts is required.
Advance registration is required; at least two weeks in advance. The scheduling is subject to availability of instructors and space.
price: 15 € per person
duration: 3–4 hours

- THE COPYISTS / PAINTING WORKSHOP FOR YOUTH AND ADULTS
12 August–15 August 2025, 17:00–20:00
You are warmly invited to a painting workshop where you will get an up-close experience with the techniques and processes of painters featured in the UGM Collection. Under the expert guidance of artist Vid Koprivšek, you will create your own copies of works such as Kobilca’s Oriental Man, Jeraj’s Dog, a landscape by Metka Kraševec, or any other painting that speaks to you. You’ll be provided with a painting easel, canvas in your chosen size, brushes, and all other materials, and you’ll work directly in the exhibition space among original artworks. You’ll explore how paintings come into being, how material choices shape them, and become familiar with various painting media and processes. You’ll gain insight into paintings not just as static works of art, but as the outcomes of deeply dynamic and intertwined creative processes.
The workshop is appropriate for beginners as well as experienced enthusiasts.
