About Galerie Hermana

Galerie Hermana was founded by Vedran Šilipetar, a Pula-based artist and musician, who transformed an old shop space near Dante Square into a cultural haven. With a name inspired by the Spanish word for “sister” and referencing Herman Dalmatin Street, the gallery embodies a mix of local history and modern art. Šilipetar, awarded a ten-year lease by the City of Pula, envisions this space as a year-round hub for art, music, and community engagement.
