Grisia is back! The exhibition called Grisia was firstly held in 1967 and since then it has become a trademark of the town of Rovinj, in first place thanks to its authenticity, but also due to the popularity it soon achieved not only within artistic circles, but also among art consumers. On the third Sunday in August, the Grisia Street, teeming all year round with art galleries and studios, transforms into a unique exhibition in the open. On this very special day, academics and aspiring artists get the chance to present their work to the audience in a very impressive open-air gallery, exhibiting their art on ancient walls, stairs, doors and windows of Rovinj’s century old houses.
The exhibition has also a competitive component, so even if you are not experienced art lovers, do not miss the opportunity to visit one of the largest and most long vital exhibitions under the open sky.
The main part of the program takes place from 10 AM to 7 PM along Grisia Street, stretching from Matteotti Square to the park next to the Church of St. Euphemia. Accompanying events include children’s art workshops, traditional games for kids, film screenings at the Gandusio Theater, the Grisia Youth exhibition, and a new media exhibition in the Church of St. Thomas. The evening continues with a get-together starting at 7 PM next to the Church of St. Euphemia.
