46th Children’s May Art Salon

The most important and traditionally oldest exhibition of children’s art in our city is being organized this year for the 46th time, but for the first time since its founding after a one-year break. Namely, in 2020, due to the “kovid 19” virus pandemic, the National Museum Kraljevo was closed to the public and the event was absent. The Children’s May Art Salon, according to its rules, implies the participation of elementary school students from 5th to 8th grade from the territory of the City of Kraljevo. The exhibition is of a competitive nature, and awards are given to children, but also to pedagogues who followed their work. The cooperation of the Museum’s curator with the teachers, established at the beginning and during the participation in the competition, is important for the final result that we see in the final exhibition. The primary selection, ie judging for the exhibition, is performed by art pedagogues, whose selection of works is evaluated by the expert jury of the Museum by awarding the prize for the best selection of student works and the prize for the most successful school in the field of art education. In addition to the 9 equal awards that are given to the most creative and technically most successfully performed works, a special award is given to the art historian, the founder of this event, named “Milorad Mihailović”.
