9th International Exhibition 'Impulse', by author Ana Marinović

Impulse can refer to a wide range of interpretations - from the impulse of the heart, life, love, body, strength, city... to everything that artists experience under that word. It is the moment that moves us, the first reaction to the world around us, whether it is emotion, physical need, or energy. Impulse is what drives us to move, react, create. In art, it becomes a source of inexhaustible possibilities for exploration. Each impulse carries the chance for a new beginning, change, or transformation.

The Impulse exhibition features nearly all techniques of visual and applied arts: drawings, paintings, watercolors, collages, graphics, digital graphics, ceramics, sculptures... Artists responded to the theme of Impulse in their own way, which you will be able to see through their works.

The Impulse exhibition has been held continuously for eight years, and this will be its ninth edition. This significant cultural event aims to increase the visibility of visual creativity, raise awareness of the importance of culture, and motivate artists to further produce and present their works. The works for exhibition were selected by a professional jury of five members, based on a previously announced public competition. The exhibition will be open until January 18, 2025. The Creative Factory Association has been in existence for 12 years and is dedicated to promoting artistic work and creativity, as well as affirming the artists themselves through such and similar projects. Every year, it organizes around 16 international exhibitions on various themes, with the aim of enabling artists to present their works more widely and connecting them with a broader audience.
