Lead Dawn is the first Art Colony in the crane, created at the request of Nina Stopar and with the encouragement of Zoran carob. She brought together academic and amateur painters to bridge the leaden boundaries by creating and socializing, showing what an artist's life can be like beyond the faded and blackened gaze. The artists gathered in a striking workhouse and created in the open air, among the people and in the heart of a place threatened by Erasure due to industrial superiority.
Svinčena zarja je prva likovna kolonija v žerjavu, ki je Nastala na željo Nine Stopar ter ob spodbudi Zorana Rožiča. Združila je akademske in ljubiteljske slikarje, da bi z ustvarjanjem in druženjem premostili svinčene meje ter pokazali, kakšno je lahko življenje Umetnika onkraj zbledelega in počrnelega pogleda. Umetniki so se zbirali v udarniško zgrajenem Delavskem domu in ustvarjali na prostem, med ljudmi in v osrčju kraja, ki mu grozi izbris zaradi industrijske premoči.
