Between the First and the Second World Wars Maribor’s painters first worked at the Grohar
Arts Club, then at the Brazda Arts Club. Several domestic and foreign art exhibitions took place
in Maribor since 1920; one of them was the representative exhibit on contemporary Slovene
plastic art in 1938. The exhibits that were organized by both clubs reflected the artistic growth
of Maribor’s painters and placed Maribor on the map of contemporary Slovene art centers.
