We work in the field of contemporary visual arts, performing arts, music, literature, cultural arts and art education. Our efforts include the organisation of festivals, exhibitions, concerts, performances and workshops that connect art with everyday life.<\/p>\n

The team of the association works in the creative environment of Atelje \u0160empeter, a multifunctional space that is both a place for artistic creation and a venue for cultural events. KUD Manifest aims to bring together artists and different sectors of society, such as tourism, gastronomy, wine-making and the economy. We cooperate with local and international artists, educational institutions, public institutions and municipalities, contributing to the exchange of ideas and the promotion of creativity at different levels.<\/p>\n

Our vision is to create an open space that fosters cultural education, networking and collaboration, while enabling the wider community to engage in cultural life. The Association also acts as a bridge between Slovenian and foreign cultural practitioners and institutions, with the aim of developing international links and strengthening diplomatic ties on a global level.<\/p>\n

Our mission:<\/strong><\/h4>\n
    \n
  • To promote artistic creation and cultural education.<\/li>\n
  • To foster collaboration between different artistic fields and local communities.<\/li>\n
  • Connecting artists and art lovers through joint projects and events.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Our vision:<\/strong><\/h4>\n
      \n
    • To become a recognised cultural centre that encourages the involvement of the general public in artistic activities.<\/li>\n
    • To ensure that cultural content is accessible to all generations and social groups.<\/li>\n
    • To develop programmes that contribute to and promote innovative artistic practices.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Our international team is a combination of talented individuals and contemporary art professionals with diverse skills, all of us sharing a love of culture and art, a dedication to our work and a desire to bring art closer to the people.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][nectar_btn size=”large” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”none”
