Once again the time has come for Koroška cesta to come alive. The year is around and the Living city is back for the annual Festival Lent! Maribor Art Gallery kindly invites all visitors to join artist Petra Kapš on an interesting walk through the passageways, that lead from Koroška to Lent where her artwork, currently exhibited in Maribor Art Gallery, was created. Join us and let us cool down together in the narrow shadowy stony streets of Maribor.

During the event there will be no entrance fee to visit the exhibition VIS-À-VIS, from 16.00-18.00!

Every person joining us through city streets will recieve a free family ticket to see the VIS-À-VIS exhibition, valid for the remaining duration of the exhibition (till the 20. august 2017).
