ART EXPO in 2023

One of the highlights of last year's Art Expo was the retrospective exhibition of the works of all the winners of the Sava Šumanović Award, which marked its 25th anniversary in 2023. The display was placed in the Hall of the Novi Sad Fair, and the organizers of the exhibition were: the Gallery "Bel Art", Center for Visual Culture "Zlatno oko" in Novi Sad, and the Novi Sad Fair.

During this Exhibition, the ceremony for the "Sava Šumanović" Award, which has been given since 1999 for achievements in the fine arts is organized in the Aula of the Novi Sad Fair. Laureate in 2023 is a conceptual artist, performer, poet, and actress from Novi Sad - Katalin Ladik.

FAIRS DEDICATED TO LITERATURE, ART, AND EDUCATION IN 2023

In the jubilee year when the Novi Sad Fair celebrates its century of existence, the Book Fair, the "Art Expo" Art Exhibition, and the "Putokazi" Education Fair saw around 37,000 visitors, which is more than in 2022. There were more than 200 exhibitors from six countries - Serbia, Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovenia, and Germany; almost 140 programs were held in which dozens of authors were presented, several anniversaries were marked, current topics were discussed, exhibitions were organized at the exhibitors' stands and more than 500 educational profiles were promoted.

With thematic exhibitions and many fine artists, during seven days, they turned the Aula into a gallery space. At the fairs, they talked about continuing their education abroad, tens of thousands of titles were sold, manuscripts were read and new books by authors were presented to the audience, and during the writers' visits, the publishers ran out of books, and some stands were already reserved for next year. The general impression of the exhibitors is that they are more than satisfied.

The Novi Sad Fair, in cooperation with donors, gave over 500 titles to visitors through the Gift Game. During seven days, RTV informed about the events at the fairs through one-hour broadcasts.
