SUMMARY:Bird of Hope for Peace Artist Award Event
DESCRIPTION:Bird of Hope for Peace Artist to Visit Milwaukee City Hall for Award Event on October 8 at 2 pm \nThe Bird of Hope for Peace\, an international award-winning artwork by Slovenian multimedia artist Eva Petrič is coming to Milwaukee on Thursday October 8th for an awards event at 2 pm in the rotunda of the Milwaukee City Hall.  She will be joined by Slovenian Consul General Suzana Česarek and International Institute of Wisconsin CEO Dr. Paul Trebian.  Local officials will welcome the group and the public is invited. \nThanks to the support of the International Institute of Wisconsin\, the first Eva Petric exhibition runs from Thursday\, October 1 through Wednesday\, October 14 in the Rotunda of Milwaukee’s City Hall. In November\, this installation will also be exhibited at Holiday Folk Fair at Wisconsin State Fair Park from Friday\, November 20 through Sunday\, November 22. \nThe artwork is woven from nearly one thousand lace roses\, handcrafted by more than 90 lacemakers from eleven countries in a shared spirit of hope. The lace roses were created by nearly 100 lace artists responding to an open call initiated by Eva Petrič in collaboration with the Idrija Lace School and the Idrija Tourist Board. Using the roses woven from recycled\, handmade lace\, Petrič transformed them into a huge collective artwork that reminds us that hope is what carries peace forward. \n After displays in Slovenia\, Austria\, and New York City\, this inspiring piece continues its journey to Milwaukee\, carrying with it the memories\, aspirations\, and hopes for peace that are woven into its beautiful thousand lace roses. The artwork will next be displayed in Cleveland at the Slovenian National Home’s Museum before returning to Europe. \n Eva Petrič is a Slovenian artist living and working in Vienna\, Ljubljana\, and New York City. Her photography\, video\, performance\, and multimedia installation works have been shown in over 130 solo and 150 group exhibitions worldwide and have earned her numerous international awards\, including Utazu Art Award in Japan\, Best Performance Art Award and Best of Ten Years Award at the United Solo Festival in New York

SUMMARY:Historical Tour of Slovenia’s World War II History
DESCRIPTION:Registration will begin in February 2026. \nTOUR DATES: September 28 – October 6\, 2026 \nSlovenianhistoricaltours.com\nEmail: slovenianhistoricaltours@gmail.com for more information or to be added to our mailing list.\nYoutube channel with videos from 2025 tour: http://www.youtube.com/@SlovenianHistoricalTours \nBy Maria Velikonja\, who was an investigator at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia during the 1990’s war. \nIn 2025\, we successfully toured Slovenia’s World War II history. In 2026\, we will partner with the publisher Družina in Ljubljana. Družina will advertise the tour in Slovenia and recruit local Slovenians to join our group. \nSlovenia’s sad World War II history left a divide between the “Home Guards” and the “Partisans” that has not been fully resolved. After WWII was over in 1945\, Slovenia\nsuffered the largest crimes against humanity\, or genocide\, in post-WWII Europe when the British repatriated tens of thousands of refugees back to Yugoslavia\, where they\nwere killed by the new communist government and dumped into mass graves around Slovenia. \nThe tour will visit these mass grave sites\, former concentration camps\, and prisons. We will be guided by Slovenia’s experts\, including historians\, archaeologists\, journalists\,\nwriters\, and an international human rights expert.

SUMMARY:80th Annual One World Day
DESCRIPTION:The 80th annual One World Day will be held Sunday\, Aug. 30th\, 2026. Make sure it’s on your calendars. \nOne World Day celebrates the many cultures that call Northeast Ohio home. This free event\, hosted by the Cleveland Cultural Gardens Federation\, is filled with opportunities for individuals and families to learn more about who we are. \nThe day begins with a Naturalization Ceremony for new U.S. citizens and a Parade of Flags\, followed by music and dance from around the world and authentic ethnic food throughout the Gardens. The Passport to Peace program is a fun way for kids and adults to learn about countries and cultures of the world and meet members of our Garden communities. The Children’s Village offers families even more opportunities for multi-cultural games and educational activities. \nOne World Day offers a unique perspective on the Cultural Gardens\, with their lush landscaping\, symbolic architecture\, and tributes to historic cultural figures. \nIn an effort to further engage interest in Slovenian culture and heritage in Northeast Ohio\, home to the largest population of Slovenians living outside of the country of Slovenia\, the Slovenian Cultural Garden Association (SCGA) is inviting individuals or groups to participate in the Parade of Flags at 12:00 p.m. This is an opportunity to share our rich heritage as well as showcase the beauty of the national dress from the various regions in Slovenia.  Come and proudly wear your “noša” or national dress from your favorite region.  You can also wear an SCGA t-shirt.  We are giving away free t-shirts to the first 50 people that sign up to join the SCGA in the parade.  (Free t-shirts are available to those who did not receive one last year). \nThis year the Gardens are also participating in the national America 250 commemoration.  The America 250 Project in the Cleveland Cultural Gardens will have each garden showcase 3 individuals from their culture that have made a difference in the United States.  The SCGA polled the Slovenian community for nominees during the month of June.  Those selected for the exhibit will be announced in early July on the SCGA website and Facebook page. \nThere are opportunities to volunteer throughout the day at the Slovenian Cultural Garden from 1:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.  If you are interested in participating in the Parade of Flags or volunteering with the Slovenian Cultural Garden\, please reach out to sloveniancga@gmail.com or sign up on the SCGA website or Facebook page.  You can also go directly to the sign-up sheet with the following link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0B45A5AC29AAF4CE9-57149798-oneworld \nFor more information on the day’s events\, and details on parking visit www.clevelandculturalgardens.org.

SUMMARY:Pilgrimage to Sorrowful Mother Shrine
DESCRIPTION:For many centuries up to and including today\, Slovenians have maintained the tradition of making pilgrimage. In particular\, we have long trekked to shrines honoring Mary\, the mother of our Savior. It is a way to break away from the routines and also distractions of our daily lives and take a respite to clear our minds and focus on what is really important in life. \nOn Sunday\, August 23\, we will make our annual pilgrimage to the Sorrowful Mother Shrine in Bellevue\, Ohio. The grounds of this rural sanctuary are an ideal place to reset ourselves as we settle into the quiet\, rustic atmosphere of this beautiful shrine located south of Sandusky. \nThe afternoon begins with Mass offered by Fr. John Kumse at 1:00 p.m. in the outdoor pieta chapel. After Mass we break for lunch; pilgrims may reserve a dinner in the dining hall ($25) or bring a picnic lunch to enjoy outdoors. \nA walk through the Stations of the Cross in the woods follows in an ideal contemplative setting. We then gather in the historic church for the inspiring Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary sung in Slovenian and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. \nFirst-time participants are warmly invited to join the pilgrims who have looked  forward to this Slovenian Day at the Shrine each year for more than half a century. The expansive shrine grounds are on State Route 269 outside Bellevue. Visit the website at sorrowfulmothershrine.org. \nA Barons motorcoach is available free of charge\, leaving St. Mary’s in Collinwood at 9:45 a.m. and St. Vitus Church at 10:15 a.m. Dinners in the dining hall from an excellent local caterer are available for $25 and must be reserved in advance. Call John Nemec at (216) 541-7243 by Sunday\, August 16\, to make dinner reservations and/or to reserve a free seat on the bus. \nJoin us for this truly special day of Slovenian Catholic tradition!
