We invite you to the opening of the exhibition "Painting with Wine" (*Slikajmo vinom*), which will take place on Saturday, November 7, at 11:00 AM at the "Staro selo" (Old Village) Museum in Kumrovec, as part of the *Martinje v Kumrovcu* (St. Martin’s Day in Kumrovec) event!

This innovative project bridges the visual arts, science, and the ethnological heritage of the Zagorje region through the unique technique of *vinorel* (wine-painting), in which drops of wine are transferred directly from a glass onto paper. Combining a scientific look at the secrets of wine pigments with an expert overview of traditional St. Martin’s Day customs, the exhibition brings together works by the pioneer of this technique—artist and architect Ivica Kiš—alongside established artists from Zagorje, creators from Kumrovec, and members of the "Oton Iveković" Art Association from Klanjec, who mastered the *vinorel* technique through a series of workshops.

The exhibition was created through a strong synergy with winemakers from Kumrovec and Klanjec, who generously provided the wine used to produce these artworks.

Exhibition Curator and Educator: Mateja Harapin
