Opening of the Adriatic Artists exhibition: ‘WindFest through the lens of a camera’

Adriatic Artists is a society of artists dedicated to the sea and visual content related to the Adriatic Sea and the Mediterranean. Adriatic artists consist of professional painters and photographers, as well as talented amateurs, gathered for the purpose of creative socializing and joint digital and collective exhibitions. The society has been active for ten years, and the exhibition within the Wind Festival 2023 is their tenth joint presentation in Montenegro and Croatia. The group’s council consists of Vilma Matulic, Jasmina Skroza, Dragan Lopušina, and academic painter Boris Dragojević, a hyperrealist who finds his greatest inspiration in the Boka landscapes, masterpieces of art created by nature and man.

Each collective exhibition of the Adriatic Artist association had its theme, and their desire to connect with the Wind Festival decided that the theme of the tenth exhibition would be “Wind Festival through the lens prism.” The exhibition will be set up on two gallery levels of the Tivat Museum and Gallery, and after the grand opening on May 5, it will be available to the public for ten days.

Why the Wind Festival, we asked the Adriatic Artists association? Because, they say, our stories are very close – we promote the same values and with the same love, through creation, we want to preserve the identity of the space we inherit.

RC Regatta

The Delfin Sailing Club is organizing a model sailboat regatta for the second time. This is a sporting discipline that has not yet taken off in our region, but it is a subject of very popular and exciting competitions in Europe and around the world.

In the Bay of Kotor, we have several RC sailboats, which have been invited to participate in the regatta in the harbor in front of Delfin, scheduled for Sunday, April 30, starting at 5 pm.

The boats in question are the Dragon Force 65 type, measuring 65 cm in length and very popular among amateurs. The sailing rules are the same as in classic competitions. A sailing field is set up, but race judges observe from the shore, where competitors control their boats. These regattas are very attractive for the audience, who can closely watch the competition.

Model boat regattas are becoming increasingly popular as a form of sailing competition worldwide. The professional International One Metre (IOM) class is recognized by the ISAF and is organized through the International Radio Sailing Association.

Concert: Daleka Obala

As the first Wind Fest “began with wonders,” as the lyrics of Darko Rundek’s song Tigidigi Rege say, the second edition – Wind Fest 2023 in Tivat brings an exclusive – the first performance of the Split band Daleka Obala in Montenegro in their career spanning over three decades.

The opening of the festival will be marked by performances of Tivat artists. The Cultural and Artistic Society Boka, which celebrated its 45th anniversary last year, will present the Dances from Boka, followed by a concert of Klapa Jadran, who will be joined by the nationally popular Tivat band Toć. After performing joint numbers, Toć will logically lead us to “Daleka Obala,” whose lyrics have marked decades of celebrations behind us.

Klapa Jadran, formed by members of the Jadran choir, has been preserving the klapa song as part of the identity of Boka people for 50 years, while Toć is a band that has been playing for ten years. They recorded their first gigs in the Regatta cafe bar in JK Delfin, where they also got their name. Because, as their godfather, one of the greatest Boka sea wolves Peđa Pavićević would say, each of our feasts is “Toć!”

Whether the 14 palm trees for the renovation of the tree-lined promenade at Pine City have arrived due to Daleka Obala’s performance at the Wind Fest, or if the Wind Fest will begin with their popular song “14 Palms,” you decide.

What we do know – the concert of the popular Daleka Obala will begin with the verses:

“14 palm trees on the island of happiness,

A beach where the waves roll…”

See you at Pine City on Friday, April 28th at 8:30 pm! Let’s sail “from sea to sea” together into another Wind Fest because “the night is beautiful, the stars shine in the sky, your smiles please each of us.”
