Our project: "Let's paint ourselves" was a complete success!
We spent the whole week "preparing the ground" for the climax - an event at the end of graphitizing the facade of our office building, which is now decorated with a beautiful few meters of graffiti. We were painted by
Teo Ivančič – Teoson. Our flower beds were decorated by three young graffiti artists
Miha Radmilovič,
Komer One and
Vid Kolmanič Bučar.
We also prepared an art exhibition and officially opened the
Mikro Gallery on our staircase. Until the end of June, all visitors can see the works of two young artists: the painter
Aneje Založnik, who creates in oil, and the illustrator
Mance Matelič, who draws on a graphic board. The employees visited it on the first day, and we hope that there will be even more such beautifications of our premises.
The two artists were joined by a donation of a designer, who is already internationally renowned: the renowned graphic designer and painter
Alja Horvat, who at an early age of 23, has already made it to the Forbes list of 30 most influential artists, and cultural figures under 30 years old.
We help the socially disadvantaged
The event also had a charitable note: all the listed artists donated one of their works for the
charity auction, which is being conducted online since 19th June by the
Društvo UP-ornik. The funds raised will be used to help socially disadvantaged families in our city, who will need help with paying the heating bills in autumn. The works can be auctioned at the auction until 10th July 2020, and the presentation of the works and authors can be viewed
here.
We support young artists
Every day we prove that there is power in style. On Friday, we got together, rolled up our sleeves, and arranged the venue, where we welcomed guests, partners, and media representatives.
In the one-and-a-half-hour program, we enthusiastically applauded our children at their performances - dancers, musicians, and singers presented themselves. In total, more than 30 performed.
All guests, performers, and employees were treated to a picnic lunch, which was conjured up for us by barbecue masters Nina and Rene and animator Saška.
We are glad that
MOM. representatives visited our event. Our project coincides nicely with the long-term project Let's Improve Maribor, within which organized graphitizing of certain points in the city is also planned. The project manager,
Neva Pipan, hung out with us.
Who knows, maybe in a few years tourists will walk past our building with the guide »Find all the graffiti in the city«.
