The International Meeting of Naïve Artists Trebnje is a multi-day gathering and creative event for artists who apply in advance and are selected by a professional board. Self-taught visual artists – naïve artists – are invited to apply. During the Meeting, the invited artists create their artworks and demonstrate their creative process in the gallery spaces of the organiser.
The organiser provides each participant with free accommodation and meals, reimbursement of travel expenses, and basic art materials for the duration of the event. At the conclusion of the Meeting, each participant donates at least one of their original works to the Gallery of Naïve Artists Trebnje.
A professional jury will evaluate the artworks created during the Meeting based on their originality, relevance, and other artistic criteria, and will present recognitions and a financial award in the gross amount of 2,000 EUR. The awarded artist will also receive the opportunity to hold a solo exhibition at the Gallery of Naïve Artists Trebnje. The announcement of the award winners will take place at the conclusion of the 59th International Meeting of Naïve Artists Trebnje on 13 June 2026.
