Occupying a prominent place on cobbled Mesnička, a street which used to have an arty reputation and deserves to have one again, Trotoar was opened by a group of friends with long-standing curatorial backgrounds in May 2023. As well as being well connected with the city's art community, the gallery aims to draw in the passing public and remind Zagreb folk that contemporary art is an organic part of the urban scene. Putting the city's current generation of artists in the spotlight is one of Trotoar's guiding aims, and it's a good place to get an idea of where Zagreb's creative energies currently lie.
