The festival "Small Bitola Monmartre", one of the most popular children art manifestations in our country, is celebrating its tenth jubilee. On that occasion, several manifestations, activities and visits took place.

Currently, at the Cultural Information Centre in Skopje, two exhibitions are taking place as children's contribution to the 60-year anniversary of Skopje liberation. They will stay open for the visitors until 11 December this year. The first exhibition consists of works created at the tenth summer workshop and is called "Pearl of the Small Bitola Montmartr", and the second one called "Pelister Rhapsody presents the works created within the workshop that bears the same name and was organized as part of this year's festival.

This year, the Small Bitola Monmartre marked its jubilee with two important guest-visits as well  - it was honoured to open the international musical festival "Monmartre in Europe" that took place in May and June in Paris, France with participants from about 30 European countries. Sixty drawings from Macedonia were exhibited in the honour of the 60-year ASNOM jubilee.
