The Children's May Art Salon was launched back in 1974. Since then, this event intended for children has been taking place without interruption for 50 years and represents a valuable place in the history of the Museum and the city of Kraljevo. The salon was founded with the desire to affirm and present children's vision, imagination, work and talent within the framework of visual and artistic culture.
The most important and oldest exhibition of children's art in our city is being organized for the 50th anniversary in a row, as a result of a successfully implemented competition. The goal of organizing the Children's May Art Salon is to highlight the importance of art education, value the work of individual art teachers and recognize the creative potential of students by publicly presenting the most successful works created in school classes. The theme of this year's competition, titled “A Childhood Memory” provided a broad conceptual framework for creative and artistic expression.
