Pilchard park

The world of fishermen and fishing tradition in Fazana is also reflected in artistic creations. Here, where the wavelets reach the very tables of nearby restaurants along Fazana's seaside promenade, where the sea keeps up with the times, past and present - this is the site of the distinctive open-air gallery: Pilchard park!

This sculptor's promenade has been thematically organized by evoking the silvery blue fish, pilchard (Clupea pilchardus). Its first works of art made by Fazana artists were put up from 2006 to 2008.

The suggestive sculptural forms, characterized by a variety of expression and use of diverse materials were created by: Roberta Weissman Nagy, Marino Belas, Lena Geršić, Igor Grgurević, Silvo Šarić, Korana Lukić Šuran and Solidea Guerra.
The sculptures are dedicated to the "little provider, modest nurturer" as the art historian Gorka Ostojić Cvajner wrote and the "well conceived project links up to the original, rightful, close to historical grounds, masterfully and modernly turned towards our time".
