Throughout 2026, ZadarArt brings a new perspective to art in Zadar through Art & Wine experiences, creative events, intimate gatherings and original artistic programs designed to make art accessible to everyone.
From evenings with wine and canvas to themed art events, guest artists, private gatherings and special collaborations, the idea is simple: art is not only something we look at. It is something we can take part in.
Art you can experience
ZadarArt was created to bring art out of the gallery and closer to everyday life.
You do not need to be an artist. You do not need prior experience. You do not need to know what you will paint before you sit down at the canvas.
All you need is curiosity, a few free hours and the wish to make something of your own.
With a glass of wine, music and a relaxed atmosphere, the classic painting workshop becomes something more — a social, creative and personal experience.
Every canvas tells its own story at the end. And no two are the same.
More than Wine & Paint
Wine & Paint is one of the formats ZadarArt is known for, but our story does not end there.
Our program changes throughout the year through different formats:
Wine & Paint evenings for relaxed time with wine and art.
Art Nights focused on particular motifs, styles or creative concepts.
Private Art Experiences for birthdays, bachelorette parties, private gatherings and special occasions.
Corporate Art Events for companies that want to offer their teams something different from a classic team building activity.
Special collaborations and guest appearances connecting local artists, authors, wineries, brands and people creating a new cultural story for Zadar.
Zadar as inspiration
The city itself has a special place in this story.
Zadar is not simply the location where an event takes place. It is part of the experience.
The Mediterranean, stone, sea, sunset colors, islands, olive trees, lavender, wine and the rhythm of Dalmatia naturally become part of the visual language of our events.
Some ZadarArt experiences are born directly from the city and the region — because art does not have to be separated from the place where it is created.
For people looking for something different.
For locals looking for a new way to spend time together.
For couples who want a shared experience.
For friends who want an evening to remember.
For travelers who want to discover Zadar from a different perspective.
For creatives who want to explore without pressure.
And for anyone who thinks they are “not talented at painting”.
Maybe they simply have not found the right moment to try yet.
Zadar’s creative scene in 2026
We believe a city with a strong cultural and historical heritage can also create a new, contemporary cultural energy.
That is why ZadarArt is not imagined only as a place for painting workshops.
We want to create a space for art, people, wine, creativity and local stories to meet — open to both local guests and travelers visiting Zadar.
A city’s culture is not only what we preserve from the past.
Culture is also what we create together today.
