THINGS TO DO IN BELGRADE - Еvents calendar

The initiative by the DOTS Gallery and Foundation to create a more sustainable space of support for young artists was launched in 2021 through the Young Art program - a biennial project aimed at connecting young creators with the contemporary art scene and curatorial practices both at home and abroad. In 2024, the program took on a new direction with the group exhibition "Graduates", born out of the need to provide continuous support to recent art graduates facing the challenges of starting their independent artistic careers.

The second edition of the exhibition, "Graduates 2026," will present 29 finalists, newly graduated artists from seven art academies in Serbia: Pandora Andrejevic, Aleksa Avramovic, Laura Blagojevic, Stanislava Blagojevic, Jana Bozovic, Milica Cobanov, Dunja Dimitrijevic, Uros Dmitrovic, Dusan Djordjevic, Lara Grujin, Katarina Ivanovic, Milica Jelicic, Nikola Jeremic, Sara Lazic, Tanja Maksimov, Vuk Mandusic, Pavle Milenkovic, Ana Miljkovic, Filip Najdanovic, Teodora Neskovic, Angelina Pajkovic, Aleksa Pavkovic, Jovana Ruvidic, Emilija Sandic, Sara Savic, Andjelija Stanculovic, Relja Stevanovic, Filip Teletin, and Valentina Ulamovic.

During the final week of the exhibition, three winning works will be announced, selected based on a clearly developed concept, the quality of artistic expression, and a high level of execution. The chosen works will be awarded monetary prizes by the DOTS Foundation.
