At the beginning of the meeting, the artists were greeted by Gabriela Kos, and after receiving the materials for creating artworks (which were handed to each participant by Andreja Žiher op ft), the colony participants "distributed" to different locations where they created artworks in different techniques.

This year's art colony was attended by: Zvjezdana Bukovčan, Vesna Gužvinec, Katarina Pisačić, Davor Petek, Dražen Pavlović, Melita Vrček, Elvira Štabi, Claudia Kuzmić, Marija Čukelj, Radmilo Mihajlović and Drago Cvijetić from the Republic of Croatia, as well as domestic artists Ana Furjan, Ines Čižić and Bibiana Žmegač, and artists from the Republic of Slovenia included Vera Kovačević, Aleš Likar, Maks Menoni and Franc Simonič.  

The final gathering began at 2 pm in the hall of the Žmah restaurant in Babinac. Mayor Mirko Korotaj thanked the artists who participated in this year's Art Colony, and then each participant was presented with a bottle of wine along with a thank-you note.

Due to the rain, this year's Art Colony Cestica 2024 was held in several rooms of the Cultural Center, and Mayor Mirko Korotaj sent special thanks to the artist Melita Vrček for her care in organizing the meeting.
