✨ Thank you to Les Nouveaux Riches for the beautiful feature and for following the story of ART CIRCLE Austria Wolfgangsee 2026! 🙏🎨

This year’s edition once again brought together artists, cultural partners, local hosts, and international connections in the unique landscape of the Salzkammergut region, Wolfgangsee.at. Over the years, ART CIRCLE has grown into much more than a residency — it has become a living network of collaborations, friendships, exhibitions, and cultural exchange across borders. 🌍

A special thank you to all participating artists, partners, hosts, Embassy of Slovenia in Austria, cultural institutes, and supporters who continue to believe in the importance of international artistic dialogue and shared creative experiences.

🎨 Rezidenčna umetnica v Ateljeju Šempeter: Karmen Bajec
V Atelje Sempeter trenutno ustvarja akademska slikarka in magistrica umetnosti Karmen Bajec, ki v svojem delu prepleta geometrično abstrakcijo, figuro in motive narave ter jih prevaja v izrazite barvne in prostorske kompozicije.
Njena umetniška pot vključuje številne samostojne in skupinske razstave doma in v tujini, umetniške rezidence (Pariz, Argentina, Maroko, Indija, Japonska) ter bogato pedagoško in raziskovalno delo.

✨ Z njenim gostovanjem začenjamo novo serijo dogodkov OFF THE GRID, ki v ateljejskem, neformalnem okolju odpira prostor za neposreden pogovor z umetniki in vpogled v njihov ustvarjalni proces.
