''Culture.si'' was designed to help different types of users connect with Slovenian arts and culture. Producers can find information needed to help them start new collaborations with Slovenian producers and funding organisations.

Event and festival organisers can browse through a variety of Slovenian artists and artistic groups, as well as find partners to help them organise events by Slovene artists abroad.

International artists and artistic groups, interested in performing or presenting themselves in Slovenia, can find lists of festivals and event organisers, descriptions of their work and their contact information.

Researchers and journalists will benefit from carefully organised timelines and overviews.

Designers of promotional materials can choose from a wide range of images and logos in vector format, ready to use under conditions specified for each image or logo.

Tourists and visitors to Slovenia can find information on cultural events in Slovenia and lists and descriptions of monuments, sites and museums they may want to visit during their stay.

Culture.si is an open portal, which means everyone can contribute to its contents. The portal's editorial board makes sure to check each new entry to verify all new content and information. Each new contact is thus edited and proofread for English, making Culture.si a referential site for translations of Slovene names of organisations, groups, festivals, etc. in English. (NOTE: Articles that are tagged "still in progress" may not yet have been proofread.)

Each article is opened for comments and questions, which any user can add by opening a Talk page for a specific article. Further developments and follow-up comments can be tracked under the Discussion button (at the upper left). To contribute to Culture.si you need to register/login first. Once you have, you can add content and/or comments in English (which will be proofread) or Slovenian (which will be translated into English).

Culture.si welcomes contributions from all users and encourages all featured organisations, groups, producers, etc. to update their profile regularly. It also invites all Slovenian artists and artist groups to provide information on presentations of their work abroad.

Take a look and make a connection!
