Cankarjev dom, Cultural and Congress Centre with a monument to Ivan Cankar (by Slavko Tihec) on the main platform, 2013. The centre was designed by Slovenian architect Edvard Ravnikar in 1977, and constructed in the early 1980s. Cankarjev dom (CD), situated in the centre of Ljubljana, is the country's largest cultural and congress centre, and one of the largest in the Balkan and SEE region. It provides around 36,000 square metres of space, and holds over 1,200 events annually. The centre opened in 1980 and was the last part of the Revolution Square (Trg revolucije) complex to be completed. Like the rest of the complex, it was designed by renowned Slovenian architect Edvard Ravnikar, who had been a student of Jože Plečnik and, briefly, Le Corbusier in the late 1930s.

In common with most state-funded national cultural centres elsewhere in the world, CD provides a space for almost all major art forms, with a particular emphasis on music and the performing arts. It is also Slovenia's premier conference and congress centre.

History

The proposal for a central national cultural centre was first put forward in 1975 when preparations were being made to mark the centenary of the birth of writer Ivan Cankar (1876–1918), after whom it would be named. Despite considerable bureaucratic and financial obstacles, ground was broken on the project in January 1978, with the site occupying land that had formerly been owned by the Ursuline Monastery in Ljubljana and nationalised in 1960. In his design, which was nevertheless striking, Ravnikar was keen to avoid overwhelming the proportions of the rest of the square. This led to a sizeable portion of the auditoriums being placed underground.

The centre's first events were held in the spring of 1980 (in Linhart Hall), although it was not until 1982 that the site became fully operational. The famous monument to Cankar by sculptor Slavko Tihec, which stands adjacent to one of the main entrances, was unveiled in 1982.

Over the years, the centre has established itself as a major tour stop for world-class ensemble and individual performers in almost all branches of music and the performing arts, with younger experimental artists also gaining an ever-stronger foothold. It has also become a prolific organiser or host, alone and in collaboration, of a wide variety of festivals; these include the Ljubljana International Film Festival (LIFFe), the International Documentary Film Festival, Ljubljana Jazz Festival, Bi Flamenko International Flamenco Festival, the Biennial of Slovene Book Illustration and the Slovenian Book Fair.

Organisation and funding

CD is constituted as a public institute (javni zavod) providing a public service in the area of arts and culture; as such, its main programme is funded by the state via the Ministry of Culture, as well as, at various times, by the [[Creative Europe %ndash& MEDIA programme, foreign embassies based in Ljubljana, the French Institute in Slovenia and the Goethe-Institut Ljubljana, among others.

The centre is also free to pursue market-funded activities in the form of fairs, conferences, conventions and certain international projects, as long as they accord with its general policies, and to raise funds through ticket sales, merchandise, donations and sponsorship. In 2018 these non-budget funds accounted for just under 47% of total income.

CD is led by a director-general, of which there have been only three since 1980: Miran Kert (1980–1982), Mitja Rotovnik (1982–2014) and Uršula Cetinski (2014–). Programming takes places across six departments, each with its own director: classical music opera and ballet (Ingrid Gortan), theatre and contemporary dance (Andrej Jaklič), jazz and world music (Bogdan Benigar), exhibitions (Nina Pirnat-Spahić), film (Simon Popek) and cultural education/humanities (Barbara Rogelj). The director-general is supported in their work by the institute's council (svet zavoda) and expert council (strokovni svet). The latter ensures that CD operates in accordance with all relevant legislation.

Programmes

Music

CD's Music Programme spans a wide variety of genres and styles, with a particular emphasis on classical music, jazz and world music. It has been the main organiser of Ljubljana Jazz Festival since 1982 (although the festival's roots go back much further, to 1960), and stages at least one large-scale opera or ballet co-production each year. There is also an ever-increasing number of single (non-festival) music events being staged in the fields of world and experimental music. A range of season tickets are available for various strands of CD's music programming, with the prestigious Gold Subscription Series (Zlata abonma) delivering world-class international orchestras, conductors and soloists to Ljubljana.

Theatre and dance

An extensive, year-round Theatre and Dance Programme is another major feature of CD, with a particular focus on new works from domestic and international dance, physical theatre and puppetry artists. CD is also a member of the Informal European Theatre Meeting (IETM).

Film

With Ljubljana well-served elsewhere by arthouse and world cinema, the Film Programme is free to specialise in festival-based showings in Linhart Hall and Kosovel Hall, co-hosting the International Documentary Film Festival in September, Ljubljana International Film Festival (LIFFe) in November and, since 2007, the Mountain Film Festival, which takes place n February. CD is also one of the main distributors of art film production throughout Slovenia, and is a founder member of the Slovenian Art Cinema Association.

Exhibitions

Major exhibitions are held in the Cankarjev dom Gallery, as is the Biennial of Slovene Book Illustration, while the Small Gallery has a long tradition of staging photography exhibitions. Exhibitions are also held in the Europlakat Gallery, which is located in the First Foyer, one of the centre's main fair and reception spaces.

Literature

Literary events in the form of talks, readings and book launches are held year-round, with the Slovenian Book Fair, which takes place in November, being one of the most important dates in the CD calendar. Cankarjev dom also co-produces and provides some of the venues for the annual Stories Today storytelling festival. The Lili Novy Club, named after one of Slovenia's most distinguished 20th century poets, was renovated in 2019 and renamed the Lili Novy Glass Hall.
