You are invited to the opening of the exhibition Contemporary Slovenian Illustration, which will be opened by Tatjana Pregel Kobe, president of the jury for the works and awards selection in 2021.

The Maribor Art Gallery is proud to present the major exhibition of the 14th Slovenian Biennial of Illustration! The exhibition offers an overview of excellence, diversity and creative charge of contemporary Slovenian illustration. The exhibition presents more than 80 authors with original illustrations from recent years. In addition, visitors can browse through more than 50 books illustrated with originals from the exhibition.

The Biennial of Illustration is organised by Cankarjev dom in tandem with the Slovenian Association of Fine Arts Societies since 1993. For more than a quarter of a century, this art event has united illustrators across generations and recognised their highest achievements with the Hinko Smrekar Award and other prizes. This year, the biennial exhibition will travel to Maribor for the very first time.
