Regional organization Turistický Novohrad and Podpoľanie in cooperation with the Development Agency BBSK no. and artists Patrik and Michal Illo invite you to the grand opening of the Permanent Exhibitions of Unique Works of Art in the Poltár District.

Exterior glass works created by artists Patrik and Michal Illovci will be unveiled in Poltár and Katarínská Huta. The works of art are not only impressive to look at, but also have content that directly "tells" the stories of the people who were once fed by the glass craft.

The project was financed through an aid scheme for the least developed districts of the Ministry of Investment, Regional Development and Informatization of the Slovak Republic.

The event also includes an excursion to the R-Glass glassworks, which is trying to preserve the glass fame of the region.
