We are proud to announce the launch of the beta version of Slovenian
cultural directory. http://www.culture.si is an extensive up to date
list of Slovenian cultural institutions, museums, galleries, producers,
NGOs, venues and much more. It covers the vast richness of heritage and
contemporary creativity.
Culture.si offers up to date address book that can be searched by the
region, discipline or type, image and logo banks that you can download
and use according to the specific licences. The photos were obtained by
the Slovene photographers via Slovenia Press Photo Festival, by Slovene
producers and institutions, and some were found on Internet (free licences).
The main content on the Culture.si portal are some 2,400 original and
structured articles on Slovene culture. They are tagged with over 400
different categories so that many useful lists can be obtained, for
example: Brass band music, Comic art exhibition organisers, Cultural
management web resources, Dance residencies, Embassies and consulates in
Slovenia, Film periodicals, Literature venues, Museum libraries, Music
festival organisers, New media art festivals, Recording studios, Theatre
research, Visual arts awards, etc.
Culture.si publishes previously unavailable announcements of Slovene
artist featuring worldwide and offers information on main international
events in Slovenia (Upcoming events) with links to relevant articles and
selected external links on programmes. The events are displayed
selectively on thematic portal pages.
Culture.si portal is based on the experience with the Cultural Profiles
databases project managed by Visiting Arts. From 2002 till 2007 Ministry
of Culture of the Republic of Slovenia in partnership with British
Council Slovenia actively supported the establishment and maintenance of
Slovenia Cultural Profile, a comprehensive English-language guide to
culture in Slovenia, aimed at both cultural professionals and the
general public.
In 2009 the Ministry of Culture initiated its own cultural portal for
international co-operation with Slovenia called Culture.si. A flexible
public database for the needs of cultural sphere built with semantic web
principles, using open source and open formats, has been developed by
Ljudmila - Ljubljana Digital Media Lab team.
Please visit http://www.culture.si and discover the richness of our
cultural output.
