Udruga hrvatsko društvo likovnih umjetnika / Croatian association of artists

O GALERIJI

Udruga Hrvatsko društvo likovnih umjetnika utemeljena je još 1868. godine (od osnutka do danas nekoliko je puta mijenjala ime) a članstvo čine likovni umjetnici različitih umjetničkih izraza. Godišnje udruga organizira ili sudjeluje u organizaciji četrdesetak izložbi koje se održavaju u prostoru Doma likovnih umjetnosti na Trgu žrtava fašizma 16, kojeg se često u naziva i „bivšom džamijom“. Taj kolokvijalni izraz može dovesti do zabune jer ljudi pomisle da je je prostor Doma prvotno i zamišljen kao džamija, no povijest nam govore drugačije. Sredinom 1934. godine za potrebe udruge (koja je onda nosila naziv Hrvatsko društvo umjetnika „Strossmayer“) započela izgradnja izložbenog prostora. Izgradnja je završena 1938. kada je održana i prva izložba. Uslijed političkih promjena u Hrvatskoj 1941. godine, zgrada Doma likovnih umjetnika prenamijenjena je u džamiju.  Godine 1949. u zgradu useljava Muzej narodnog oslobođenja koji u tome prostoru ostaje do 1990., kada se zgrada vraća Hrvatskom društvu likovnih umjetnika.

ABOUT THE GALLERY

Croatian association of artists was founded in 1868 (the name was changed several times since its founding) and its membership consists of artists of various artistic expressions. Every year, the association organizes or participates in the organization of about forty exhibitions held at the Home of Fine Arts on Trg žrtava fašizma 16, which is often called the “former mosque”. This colloquial expression can lead to confusion because people think that the space of the House was originally conceived as a mosque, but history tell us otherwise. As early as 1934, the construction of an exhibition space began for the needs of the association (which was then called the Croatian Society of Artists “Strossmayer”). Construction was completed in 1938, when the first exhibition was held. Due to political changes in Croatia in 1941, the building of the Home of Fine Artists was converted into a mosque. In 1949, the Museum of National Liberation moved into the building and remained there until 1990, when the building was returned to the Croatian association of artists.

PRISTUPAČNOST

Ako ste u kolicima, zgradi likovnih umjetnika sami ne možete pristupiti jer će vas na ulazu dočekati 6 stepenica. Jednom kada ste unutra, vidjeti možete samo postav u prizemlju, izložbe na katu ne možete vidjeti jer do gornjeg prostora vodi stubište, a nema lifta. Treba napomenuti i da je prilaz koji vodi do ulaza popločen kamenim pločama po kojima se nije jednostavno kretati u kolicima.

ACCESSIBLITY

If you’re a wheelchair user, you can’t access the building of Fine Artists on your own because you’ll be greeted by 6 steps at the entrance. Once you’re inside, you can only see the exhibit on the ground floor, you can’t see the exhibits upstairs because a staircase leads to the upper space and there is no elevator. It should be noted that the driveway leading up to the entrance is paved with stone slabs that aren’t easy to move on if in a wheelchair.

DOSTUPNOST ONLINE

Na službenim web stranicama nema nikakvih informacija o pristupačnosti za osobe s invaliditetom niti su naglašene ikakve druge prilagodbe. Nema ni izbornika pristupačnosti koji slijepim i slabovidnim osobama nudi mogućnost promijene veličine fonta i boje pozadine. Nema niti online izložbi za pregledavanje. Hrvatsko društvo likovnih umjetnika aktivno i je na Facebooku, gdje uglavnom objavljuju informacije o aktivnostima i izložbama.

ONLINE AVAILABILITY

There’s no information on accessibility for people with disabilities on the official website, nor are any other adaptations listed. There’s no accessibility menu that offers blind and visually impaired persons the ability to change the font size and background color. There are no online exhibitions available either. Croatian association of artists is active on Facebook, where they mostly publish information about activities and exhibitions.
