Exhibition of Miniatures and Tabletop Scenery 2026
The exhibition of miniatures and models "Agram 2026" was held this year from 19.2. to 08.03. 2026. The exhibition was set up on Wednesday 18.2. 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 19, 2026, starting at 6:00 PM. The exhibition was organized on the occasion of our twenty-third 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 23 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.
It was a special honor for us to host our guest exhibitor, Ninoslav Luk, a miniaturist from Poreč, who introduced himself to us with his collection of historical dioramas.
During the first weekend of the Exhibition, 21-22.02., we held the 18th 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. There was no shortage of morning neccessities like coffe and doughnuts.

By noon, all the display cases were full and the competition could officially begin.
Back To Basics workshops for the young at the Black Queen
This year, throughout the weekend, we organized miniature painting workshops for the youngest, who were able to paint one of our own miniatures designed specifically for this program for the first time!
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: Anže Zorko (SLO), doc.dr.sc. Winton Afrić (CRO), Ivan Knezović (UMS Agram) and Petar Knezoviću (CRO).
SPEED PAINTING COMPETITION
We organized a speed painting competition on Sunday afternoon. Participants had 60 minutes to paint one wizrad, a miniature of our own design and production.
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.
AGRAM ARENA – Leaving Asphodel Necropolis28 Campaign
During the weekend of February 21-22, we held a new international competition, Agram Arena! This time it was the turn of the tabletop strategy game Necropolis28, for which our members designed a two-day campaign. Each participant created their own gang of soldiers, and the vast majority also created their own boards.
EVENTS ON WEEKDAYS DURING THE EXHIBITION
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.
BACK TO BASICS MINIATURE PAINTING WORKSHOPS FOR YOUNG

On Wednesday, February 25, 2026, as part of the activities of our Agram Lego Section, our resident mechanical engineer Marko Paunović gave a lecture on the topic of the F1 racecar from 1992. Admission to the lecture was free, and upon completion, a LEGO model of the racecar was made by members of the Lego section
During the second weekend of the Exhibition, 28.02.-01.03., we organized a MINIATURE PAINTING WORKSHOP - Grimdark.
The workshop was held over two days (the entire weekend) and participants painted up to three different figures for the game Trench Crusade. The focus of these lectures was on painting the popular grimdark style minis. 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 04.03.2026. the annual session of the Assembly was held, where we determined the guidelines for work in 2026.

On Sunday 08.03.2026. 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!
