Exhibition of Miniatures and Tabletop Scenery Agram 2025
The exhibition of miniatures and models "Agram 2025" was held this year from 20.2. to 09.03. 2025. The exhibition was set up on Wednesday 19.2. and was attended by a large number of members and friends of the Association who exhibited their works.
The opening of the Exhibition took place on Thursday, February 20, 2025, starting at 6:00 PM. The exhibition was organized on the occasion of our twenty-second birthday.
As always, the Exhibition presented a cross-section of the work of the Association, its members, participants of its courses and workshops, and members of the Miniature Painters Croatia FB group. In a large number of showcases, there were numerous miniatures for tabletop strategy games, board games, and an entire showcase was dedicated to award-winning exhibits from previous miniature competitions. Several showcases were dedicated to projects that the Association has been implementing for 22 years, such as the UMS „Agram“ Library and Reading Room, the Workshop for Making Spatial Models and the Miniature Painting Workshop, as well as new ones such as the Agram Group Build, the Agram Lego Section and the Back to Basics painting workshop for the youngest.
During the first weekend of the Exhibition, 22-23.02., we held the 19th annual international miniature painting competition Black Queen Hobby and Miniature Painting Competition!
As contestants arrived and registered for the competition, our hardworking staff photographed all the exhibits before sorting them into categories and carefully placing them in glass cases. The entries can be seen on our social networks!
By noon, all the display cases were full and the competition could officially begin.
WARGAMING DEMO GAMES
This year, organized by our friends from Slovenia from the Amulet D20 club, demonstrations of the Turnip28 tabletop strategy game were held. Over the course of both days, a handful of games were played on beautiful terrain!
SELLERS' COURT
During the weekend we hosted our sponsors with their sales stands: Swood.si and Carta Magica.
MINIATURE PAINTING WORKSHOPS
The ZZTK premises allow workshops to be held during the weekend in the cinema hall in the basement, so we also organized demonstration workshops during the weekend. The lecturers' work was recorded with a camera and projected onto the projection screen in the hall. Many thanks to our domestic and international lecturers: Ana Polanšćak (CRO), Vladimir Matić-Kuriljev (SRB), Luka Jare and Vane Dolenc (SLO), doc.dr.sc. Winton Afrić (CRO) and Marcello Rizza (I).
SPEED PAINTING COMPETITION
Thanks to our sponsor Hobby Chest, who provided us with a large donation of coloring materials from AK Interactive, we organized a speed painting competition on Sunday afternoon. Participants had 90 minutes to paint one miniature.
With that, we came to the very end of this wonderful weekend and all that was left was the awarding of prizes and recognition to the winners.
Over the next two weeks, our volunteers held open miniature painting workshops on weekdays from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Miniature painting workstations were set up where our visitors could paint miniatures we had prepared (or their own if they had brought them) using our materials and tools.
In parallel with the open miniature painting workshops, our volunteers also held demos of the tabletop strategy games Kill Team, Full Tilt and Frostgrave!
BACK TO BASICS MINIATURE PAINTING WORKSHOPS FOR YOUNG
On weekdays from 17:00 to 18:00, we held our new workshops for the youngest, in which our youngest participants painted their first miniatures.
AGRAM LEGO SECTION lecture: LEONARDO DA VINCI - THE INVENTOR
On Wednesday, February 26, 2025, as part of the activities of our Agram Lego Section, Mario Grgurev gave a lecture on the topic of Leonardo da Vinci - The Inventor. Admission to the lecture was free, and upon completion, a LEGO model of da Vinci's flying machine was made by members of the Lego section
During the second weekend of the Exhibition, 01.-02.03., we organized a MINIATURE PAINTING WORKSHOP - Frostgrave.
The workshop was held over two days (the entire weekend) and participants painted five different figures for the game Frostgrave, which can also be used for DND sessions. The focus of these lectures was on painting multiple miniatures at once, but the knowledge from the workshop is equally applicable to painting armies for board games and figure collections for pen&paper RPGs. The workshop presented paints and equipment, figure preparation, several miniature painting techniques from basic to advanced, and techniques and tricks for quickly and efficiently painting larger quantities of figures at once. Water-based acrylic paints were used as part of the workshop.
On Wednesday 05.03.2025. the annual session of the Assembly was held, where we elected the new old leadership and determined the guidelines for work in 2025.
On Sunday 09.03.2025. The exhibition was over, our exhibits safely stored, and the Gallery cleaned.
The most important part of every year when holding this Exhibition is the social aspect, the socializing of our members both among themselves and with our international friends who visit us! With these few photos from our joint gatherings, we greet you until next year!
