The ZILIK gallery

The ZILIK Gallery is located in Radićeva Street in the town centre. The inhabitants of Karlovac associate the name ZILIK both with the gallery and also the Winter Artists’ Colony in the town, which has been running for 39 years. ZILIK brings together artists from both Croatia and abroad, and with its activities has contributed to the cultural image of the town. The idea for ZILIK was born back in 1973with the proposal of Petar Grgac, who was president of the Croatian Naive Artists Association. The first Winter Artists’ Colony began on 22 January 1974 in the Vladimir Nazor Children’s Home, and since then then every January the Home opens its doors to a number of artists.
