Every year, in the last week of June, a selected few renowned academic painters, who work tirelessly for 5 days, head to an elevation of just below 1000 meters to the inspiring Pohorje village of Resnik. Each time a rich art exhibition is created in the Resnik's House of Residents, which keeps impressing all year long.

Who is Skumavc?

Marjan Skumavc helped to found a colony and he participated in it for the first four years. When he died in 2011, the colony was in his honour named after him. Skumavc was an Academic painter, Student Prešeren Award winner, a famous journalist of the Delo newspaper and a boxer.

The award for the best technical boxer was named after him at the World Cup Grand Prix in Slovenske Konjice.

Lovely Pohorje Village of Resnik

The small village on the south side of Pohorje is not compact, but a widespread collection of Pohorje farms with 150 inhabitants per 12 km2. The former school is now the center and the Local Residents' Home is the home to the colony's art exhibition. Right there you can find the statue of Skumavc.
