The concept of\u00a0 &#8220;Casual passer-by&#8221; dates back to 1970\u2019s. Simply put, the goal is to place an equal sign between the important personalities whose photos are often seen in public places and casual passers-by. So far, a number of different portraits of casual passers-by were \u201changed\u201d on the streets of Zagreb, London, Paris, Venice&#8230; They were acquired by the most important world museums and placed on their facades. At first, the visitors who saw them were confused, then they asked questions and finally they got used to and accepted those works. Meanwhile, Braco Dimitrijevi\u0107 became a world-renowned artist. The Art Gallery has received &#8220;its own&#8221; casual passer-by as a gift.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>How could I exhibit my works in the National Gallery of B&amp;H?<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #333333;\">You would need to send us a detailed project description and your CV to our official mail address (info@ugbih.ba).
