"Pay and Carry": Exhibition of Young Artists at the Meštrović Pavilion
The " Pay and Carry " project, which is being implemented in collaboration with the Croatian Art Fair - Art Zagreb and the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb, announces the fourth edition of the sales exhibition of students and young artists - alumni of the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb. The exhibition will be held in the Bačva Gallery of the Meštrović Pavilion from 12 to 15 December 2024 .

This exhibition aims to provide new opportunities for students and young artists, allowing them an irreplaceable experience of presenting and selling their works to a wider audience, and to motivate them to further develop their artistic creativity. Taking into account the lack of sales agents and galleries that focus on young artists, the project allows ALU Zagreb students and their fellow alumni to present their works to the market.

The initiative was created in response to the success of the traditional Cash & Carry exhibition, which has been held for eighteen years at the Faculty of Arts, Zagreb, as well as the previous three editions of the “Pay and Carry” pilot project (2018, 2019 and 2022). The sales exhibition not only encourages young artists, but also allows citizens to purchase contemporary artworks by up-and-coming artists, with the opportunity to communicate directly with them, which can result in more lasting connections.

For this year's pre-Christmas edition, final year students of the Painting, Sculpture, Graphics and Teaching Departments of ALU, as well as alumni who graduated in the academic year 2023/2024, are invited. A total of 33 exhibitors will present their works in the media of drawing, painting, sculpture and graphics.

During the exhibition, visitors will be able to purchase artworks on site on a "pay and carry" basis, at affordable prices, and be sure that the work has been selected by the oldest Croatian art academy, the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb. This project thus represents a platform for the sale of young artists, enabling their further professional development and providing the public with an insight into the work of upcoming artists, thereby enriching the cultural scene of Zagreb.
