ARTISTIC  – WATER – THE FLUID OF LIFE (8-16 JUNE)

This year, from 8 to 16 June, the Plitvice Lakes National Park will host the international exhibition named „Water – The Fluid of Life“. The theme of the exhibition is water in all its aspects and forms. Water as a universal life force, life’s fluid, source of inspiration. And what better place to get inspired and to experience this force but the Plitvice lakes, a UNESCO protected national park with 16 falling lakes and countless waterfalls in the midst of Lika, the Croatian highlands.

„Join us at this feast of art and nature. Spare a moment to think about water. What it is for you, how you perceive it, how it communicates with you, how you translate it in to your own life, your creativity and your work. Participate with your artwork at our expo and join others from all around the globe“ – the organizers have announced.

Lately, water has been studied not only by scientists, but also by explorers, artists, philosophers and ecologists. They study the phenomenon of water, they try to explain all the extraordinary qualities that make this fluid specific and unique to this planet and universe.

Given those recent discoveries we learn that water has the power to heal as well as destroy, it has a process of self-cleansing, it is a bearer of important biological information and it has memory!

Come to Korenica and Plitvice Lakes to participate in these diverse events and enjoy the magnificent nature of the Plitvice area!
