“We are honoured to be the first Slovenians in Italy to open the Art Embassy of Poland, which will take off in a harmony of cultural, artistic and enogastronomic contributions. We believe that our Brda Soil will provide a source of inspiration for many artists and an opportunity for an exchange of intercultural interactions in search of new challenges and gatherings.”

“In 2011, the driven by the initiative of the Honorary Consul of the Republic of Poland in Nova Gorica, Mr Nedjan Brataševec, and the former Ambassador of the Republic of Poland in Ljubljana, HE. Cezary Król, the Art Circle project was launched. Thanks to this venture, through artistic encouragement and promotion of culture, the once torn apart by communism Europe now comes together in Goriška Brda. It connects not only artists, but also the communities, giving politicians the inspiration to work towards a better Europe. The fact that the Art Circle / Krog Umetnosti movement was launched thanks to the initiative of the Ambassador of the Republic of Poland in Slovenia and the Honorary Consul of the Republic of Poland in Nova Gorica obliges us to remain dedicated to the promotion of cultural activities. This will without a doubt be strengthened through the election of Nova Gorica and Gorizia for the European Capital of Culture 2025. Cultural embassies are an excellent expression of the European integration ideal of which Poland is an ardent promoter and a passionate supporter. The Art Circle project is a shining example that art inspires, and culture connects as well as forms the foundation of Europe.”
