At the workshop itself, in the unique historical and cultural nautical environment of the Dubrovnik marina, the participants then painted motifs from it, as well as its surroundings.

It was in this wonderful and inspiring space that we held the last workshop of this season’s regular drawing and painting course for adults at PopHeart Factory. We introduced the participants in the history and cultural significance of the area of ​​Rijeka Dubrovnik and its summer houses, and then enjoyed plein air painting, which in a special way inspires the creative spirit. and enrich it with an activity like this. I invite all creative people, both local and foreign visitors, to join us here in the coming summer months,” said Ivana Miloglav, an academic painter.

“The Dubrovnik marina is one of the most prominent units of our nautical chain, and certainly one of the marinas that belongs to the very top of the nautical offer in the Mediterranean. One of the main assets of the marina is undoubtedly the Sorkočević summer house. It is a Gothic-Renaissance castle located in the area of ​​the marina, thanks to which ACI Marina Dubrovnik is unique not only in Croatia or the region, but also in the whole world. We are proud of this collaboration, and I would like to thank the academic painter Ivana Miloglav for considering our marina as a suitable meeting place and backdrop for this truly special workshop. Ivana added colors to our already colorful marina, and this is exactly what we do every day. An event like this is unique, as it befits a marina like ours, and with it we are moving in the direction of diversification, ACI Marina Dubrovnik, but also the entire offer of ACI”, pointed out Leo Ajduković, director of ACI Marina Dubrovnik.
