Events on the Liburnia Riviera

Hotel Ambasador

Hotel Ambasador in Opatija is hosting a one-year artistic residency by contemporary Croatian artist Vedran Ružić. During the residency, the hotel becomes a space for encounters between art, creativity, and dialogue, while visitors will have the opportunity to discover Ružić’s artistic work through three thematic exhibition cycles – sculptures, paintings, and drawings – presented throughout the year. A special part of the programme is the “Artist at Work” series of events, held on the first Friday of every month, when the artist will create new works live in front of the audience. The residency offers a unique opportunity to experience contemporary art in the inspiring setting of Hotel Ambasador and provides guests and visitors with a different perspective on Opatija through creativity and artistic expression.
