Karlovac Easter eggs turned Šanac and Modrušanov park into an open gallery of Easter art

Easter magic in the heart of Karlovac: artistic Easter eggs brought city parks to life

The spirit of spring and Easter joy have once again taken over Karlovac, transforming the city's green oases into lavish open-air exhibition spaces. Since April 14, 2025, the moat below the Promenade and Modrušan Park have become home to 12 imposing Easter eggs, each 120 centimeters high, painted by local artists, infusing them with a part of their creativity and love for the city.

Artistic collaboration that delights

This unique exhibition is the result of cooperation between the Karlovac Tourist Board and the Association of Visual Artists of Karlovac (ULAK), which for the fifth consecutive year brings spring magic to the city streets. Artists Željko Mareković, Lidija Maček Stanić, Mojca Svetic Radočaj, Nataša Gojak, Erika Šimičić, Tomica Lovetić, and Miroslav Krnić have created true small masterpieces with their talent and dedication, adorning the public spaces.

Each Easter egg bears recognizable motifs of Karlovac, symbols of Easter and spring, thus creating a visual link between tradition and contemporary artistic expression. Special attention is drawn to one of the Easter eggs equipped with a bench, providing visitors with an ideal place for taking photos and creating memories.

Evening illumination and holiday atmosphere

To further emphasize the beauty of these works of art, the Easter eggs are illuminated in the evening hours, creating a magical atmosphere that invites strolling and enjoying the holiday mood. This light installation further enriches the visual experience and makes Karlovac even more attractive to visitors and citizens.

Spring in Karlovac: a rich program for all generations

The exhibition of Easter eggs is part of the broader event "Spring in Karlovac", which this year offers more than 80 different events during April and May.

Among the many activities, a workshop on making Easter eggs using the traditional straw technique stands out, which will be held on April 16 at 6 PM. Participation is free, and applications are accepted via email.
