Ex-tempore Piran is one of the most important art events in Slovenian Istria, recognizable for its competitive character and long tradition. We are sure that this year’s edition will also be characterized by the quality and high participation of creators of different generations. In addition to the interesting accompanying program, Ex-tempore Piran 2023 will introduce some innovations: an increase in the amount of the first prize, the Grand Prix, which amounts to €4,000, and the presentation of all selected and awarded works in one place, in the Monfort Gallery in Portorož. The closing ceremony with the awarding of the prizes and socializing with music will also take place in the Monfort complex, in the adjacent Wooden Hall.
An international expert jury consisting of Eda Čufer, playwright, curator and essayist (Slovenia), Igor Eškinja, visual artist and academic professor (Croatia) and Daniele Capra, art critic and curator (Italy), will make a selection of the paintings for the exhibition at the Monfort Gallery Portorož and award a multitude of appealing prizes, among which the Young Author Prize and the Grand Prix stand out. Both prizes are patronized by the Piran Coastal Galleries.
Ex-tempore Piran 2023 will end on Saturday, September 2, 2023, at 8:30 p.m., with the award ceremony at the Monfort’s Wooden Hall in Portorož. The event, directed by director Ivan Loboda, will be hosted by journalist and television presenter Karin Sabadin. This will be followed by socializing with the musical accompaniment of the LAPsus trio, which will perform standard jazz and pop hits.
