Do you ever watch those obnoxious Youtube commercials that promote people who achieved everything before even becoming a full-on adult? And then you start spiraling figuring out HOW. THE. HECK? Well this is EXACTLY how I feel about Nika Rosman, mastermind behind NIČ ART. I've been watching her for almost a decade and I'm telling you – this girl is on fire (Alicia Keys reference intended)!! I wouldn't believe this kind of people exist, if it weren't for her. I work in culture and I'm telling you, it's hard.
NIČ ART is more than just an atelier open for everyone. It's a hip place you simply have to check out! Their program offers private and group drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramic and photography classes for all ages. I say "their" because Nika (like any good entrepreneur) is no longer a one (wo)man band, but works together with super talented Bernarda Conič, Helena Tahir and Fedja Šičarov. Knowing 3/4 of the team, I most def vouch for them. Want to apply for an art school in Ljubljana? Their preparation courses will help you out. Got kids? Drop them off for inspiring vacations! Lifelong wishes to learn how to paint? Here's your shot. No artistic ambitions at all? Just buy a lovely handmade ceramic vase for your mother-in-law.
Really. If you need that nudge to get more creative, these four lovely companions will definitely push you in the right direction. And what better way to spend these pandemic times than to get expressive, right?!
