IMAGINE A PLACE...
...where history, sea, and tradition meet — that is Tuorić (local name for the olive oil mill), an ancient building nestled in Nerezine, on the beautiful island of Lošinj. This 16th-century treasure is more than just a building; it is a part of our soul, a witness to time and stories that connect generations.
For decades, this cultural monument was neglected and forgotten. Thanks to the love and dedication of the Artour-Nerezine Association, since 2021 we have been breathing new life into it. We restored the walls, doors, and windows, brought the electricity, and started cultural events that honor its spirit.
Today, Tuorić is home to art colonies, exhibitions, workshops, and stories that keep this old building alive.
But now, we want to take the next step — to restore its upper wooden floor of about 70 m², expanding the space, opening doors to more people, richer programs, and new opportunities for art and community.
🇭🇷 Zamislite mjesto...
...gdje se susreću povijest, more i tradicija — to je Tuorić
(lokalni naziv za stari mlin za masline, tj. uljaru) smješten u
Nerezinama, na prekrasnom otoku Lošinju. Ovaj dragulj iz 16.
stoljeća nije samo građevina; to je dio naše duše, svjedok vremena i
priča koje povezuju generacije.
Dugo je ovaj kulturni spomenik bio zapušten i zaboravljen, ali
zahvaljujući ljubavi i trudu Udruge Artour-Nerezine, od 2021. godine
počeli smo ga oživljavati. Obnovili smo zidove, vrata i prozore,
uveli struju i započeli s kulturnim događanjima koji njeguju njegovu
dušu. Danas, Uljara je dom umjetničkim kolonijama, izložbama,
radionicama i pričama koje udišu život u ovu staru zgradu.
No, pred nama je novi korak — želimo rekonstruirati drvenu
galeriju koja se ovdje nekoć nalazila, što će proširiti prostor oko
70 m², te otvoriti vrata još većem broju ljudi, još bogatijem
programu i novim prilikama za umjetnost i zajedništvo.

WHY IS THIS PROJECT SO IMPORTANT?
This wooden mezzanine is not just wood and planks — it is a space where our tradition will be preserved and lived, a meeting place for locals and visitors, a home for creativity and exchange of ideas. We want to create a place where local culture can grow and flourish, where old customs and new stories come together in harmony.
Every bit of your support means protecting something precious, creating a future where our island breathes with its own rhythm, rich in history and community spirit.
🇭🇷 Zašto nam je ovaj projekt važan?
Ova galerija nisu samo daske — to je prostor u kojem će se čuvati
i živjeti naša tradicija, mjesto susreta otočana i gostiju, dom
kreativnosti i razmjene ideja. Želimo stvoriti mjesto gdje će
lokalna kultura rasti i cvjetati, gdje će se stari običaji i nove
priče susresti u skladnom zagrljaju.
Svaka vaša podrška znači da čuvamo nešto dragocjeno, da stvaramo
budućnost u kojoj naš otok diše svojim ritmom, bogatim poviješću i zajedništvom.

WHO IS BEHIND THIS?
The Artour-Nerezine Association has been actively working for nearly
two decades to bring vibrant cultural life to Lošinj and Cres. With
support from local partners such as the City of Mali Lošinj, Mali
Lošinj Tourist Board, the Ministry of Culture, The Ministry of
Regional Development and EU Funds, Primorje-Gorski Kotar County,
and many passionate individuals, we create a platform where
heritage becomes alive and accessible to all.
Together with the Cres Museum, The Croatian Photo
Association, and other cultural institutions and NGOs, we
connect tradition and modernity into a unique mosaic telling the story
of the island and its people.
🇭🇷 Tko stoji iza ove priče?
Udruga Artour-Nerezine već skoro dva desetljeća neumorno radi na
unapređenju kulturnog života Lošinja i Cresa . Uz pomoć lokalnih
partnera poput Grada Malog Lošinja, Turističke zajednice Grada Malog
Lošinja, Ministarstva kulture, Ministarstva regionalnog razvoja i
fondova EU i Primorsko-goranske županije te brojnih pojedinaca,
stvaramo platformu na kojoj baština postaje živa i dostupna svima.
Zajedno s Creskim muzejom, Hrvatskim fotosavezom i drugim
institucijama i neprofitnim organizacijama - partnerima na
projektima, povezujemo tradiciju i suvremenost u jedan jedinstveni
mozaik koji priča priču otoka i ljudi koji ga vole.
WHAT DO WE NEED?
To make this dream come true, we need about 19,500 EUR. These funds will be used to prepare project documentation, purchase quality wood and materials, build the gallery itself, and promote and manage the project. Every donation, big or small, brings us closer to our goal.
🇭🇷 Što nam je potrebno?
Za ostvarenje ovog sna, potrebno nam je oko 19.500 eura. Ta sredstva koristit ćemo za izradu projektne dokumentacije, nabavu kvalitetnog drva i materijala, izgradnju same galerije, kao i za promociju i organizaciju projekta. Svaka vaša donacija, bez obzira na veličinu, od ogromne je važnosti i približava nas cilju.
