NGO Sinestezija and the local design studio D Bend introduced the first National PAINT CLUB Competition MONTENEGRO at the premier of the “Sinestezija” Festival in Montenegro (August 5th – 12th), which took form of a work-in-progress city wide exhibition, with Herceg Novi, one of the oldest towns in the Boka bay in the Adriatic, as an open gallery space. It became a playground for artistic, aural and visual interventions.
The program focus is on visual artists. With the support of the Erste Foundation, Sinestezija brought together around 20 graphic, street artists and illustrators from the entire region of SEE. Among the announced guests were PekmezMed, Tifani Rubi and NinjaTiger from Croatia, Aorta Plus from Bosnia, Mrge from Macedonia, Fuck New Rave, Fat Kid Beny and Weedzor from Serbia, then Shuzan from Bulgaria and the local representatives D Bend, Filip Roca, Nikola Ćrčn and others. This group of artists realized a number of collaborative actions during the 7-day residency stay – from designing characters on life-size wood cut-outs which were positioned throughout the Old town, to larger scale murals and a group exhibition in a gallery context.  One of the central events of the festival was the first Montenegrian Paint Club national competition in drawing, which was held on August 11th at the Forte Mare fortress. The event was accompanied by the main festival party featuring locals Who See and 2BeatOrNot2Beat, as well as Sarajevo-based A Skitzo/DJ Ahmaad and others.
