On their way, they visited Marija Strnad’s exhibition at the University Medical Center and the Dobra vaga gallery under Jožef Plečnik’s arcades on the main market. The artists that participated in the pilgrimage express themselves using different artistic forms: watercolor, acrylic, mosaic, Idrian lace, ceramic, performance art, music… Every artist took with him or her one of his or her own artworks.
