Summer at the Gallery Square

The tenth anniversary of The Summer at the Gallery Square, organized by three museum institutions on the Gallery Square, once again will entertain their visitors in the museum gardens, as well as on the square, offering a diverse cultural programme during the summer months. As before, The Gallery of Matica Srpska, The Pavle Beljanski Memorial Collection and The Gallery of Fine Arts Gift Collection of Rajko Mamuzić will organize special open events related to art history, film, travelogues and music, with free programs. In the course of ten years, the Summer at the Gallery Square has become one of the city’s established summer cultural hallmarks, it has gained regular visitors and opened its doors to visitors of various backgrounds and interests. Thanks to its long tradition, a successful cooperation has been established with a number of other museums, foreign embassies in the Republic of Serbia and their cultural centres and institutes, as well as with individual associates, experts, artists and friends which have offered their contribution to the promotion and understanding of different cultures. In this jubilee year, museums will provide a visual reminder about some of the most interesting programmes held during the ten years of this event. Since the Gallery Square is located in the old town of Novi Sad, the future European Capital of Culture, the programmes that are held annually here designate this place as one of the city’s most important cultural points and a place of gathering, creativity, cultural interaction and quality entertainment.
