This year's edition of the annual From Sketch to Puppet exhibition, which has been run by BežigradGallery 1 and 2 since 1980, is organised jointly with Mini Theatre Ljubljana. It features sketches,puppets and stage design elements created by puppeteers Milica Grbić Komazec and Nikola Komazec for the children's performance All Here, All Together, which was staged in 2017 in Mini Theatre Ljubljana.
