Ex-tempore Piran is the Piran Coastal Galleries' event that is most open to the public and visual artists. It is recognizable for its competitive character and enviably long tradition, which confirms its great popularity in the local and international space. We have great hope that this year's 60th anniversary edition will be marked by diverse participation of a new generation of creators and the quality of their submitted artworks.
The Ex-tempore Piran 2025 will unofficially begin on Friday, August 29, 2025, with the opening of the exhibition by Lev Ambrož Okorn, a student of the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Ljubljana and last year's recipient of the Young Author Prize 2024, at the Herman Pečarič Gallery. The award represents a unique opportunity to become part of the contemporary art system, which involves multiple stakeholders: in this case, the artist, the gallery, and the public.
On Saturday, August 30th, stamping of painting supports will begin at multiple locations in Slovenia (Portorož, Ljubljana, Celje, Maribor) and Croatia (Rijeka). During the week until September 6, 2025, interesting accompanying events for children and adults will take place, organized by the Piran Coastal Galleries in collaboration with various partners.
This year's international expert jury consists of Stephanie Peršić, an art historian and curator at the Labin Public Art Gallery (Croatia), Renzo Grigolon, cultural worker (Italy), and Jadranka Plut, an art critic and curator (Slovenia). The jury will select paintings for the exhibition and award numerous prizes, among which the Young Author Prize and the Grand Prix stand out. Just like last year, Ex-tempore Piran 2025 exhibition will be held at two locations: all awarded artworks will be on display at the Piran Civic Gallery, while the paintings shortlisted by the international jury will be exhibited at the Monfort Gallery in Portorož.
Ex-tempore Piran 2025 will conclude on Saturday, September 6, 2025, when the award ceremony will take place at Tartini Square at 8:30 PM, with music performance: directed by Igor Jelen ─ Iggy, tenor Žiga Lakner, cellist Bernardo Brizani. The event will be hosted by Iztok Gustinčič.
We are looking forward to your participation and you are most welcome to join us!
