Nis Art Foundation: Talent the most precious value

Stances and thoughts by young artists of fine art express in the best possible way how great importance of the Nis Art Foundation (NAF) is, the reputable actress Neda Arneric says.

And this is not all. It is my great pleasure to cooperate with the Faoundation and work as a memeber of the jury. Above all it is a joy for me to listen to these young people and hear how much this Foundation means to them - Neda Arneric says.

The NAF has been existing for eight years. At the national competitions for young artists it has awarded 25 of them with prizes from 1,500 and 3,000 Euros for the first, second and third place. The foundation has also organized a series of exhibition of young artists in Nis, Belgrade and Novi Sad with participation of over 400 artists up to 35 years of age.
