SloveniaThe 24th edition of the Forma viva Makole – Dežno art festival returns to the natural surroundings of Dežna near Makole, running from September 4th to 12th, 2026. The event features sculptors, painters, and writers from across Slovenia who will create works over nine days and present them to visitors. The festival has evolved from a seven-day traditional gathering into a multi-generational event but maintains its core purpose as a space for artistic creation, cultural exchange, and community engagement. Organized by sculptor Ivan Dvoršak, the festival includes exhibitions, workshops, and special programs for schoolchildren and journalists. Key activities include a painting workshop led by academic painter Ervin Dvoršak, involving 13 participants, and themed days such as 'Day of Primary School' and a guided tour of the artworks.
