Artservis.org
Principles
Artservis supports the independent and competent operation of individuals and organisations involved in contemporary art. Its main principles are free public access and information-sharing, built up through the users' network. It was conceived and is maintained by SCCA-Ljubljana Centre for Contemporary Arts. Artservis.org is registered as an on-line media by the Ministry of Culture.
Artservis Collection
Since 2005 Artservis has also been building up its own collection of artworks that deal with production conditions in culture. It includes artworks from over 15 local artists or groups and is occasionally on display, often also in the form of a mobile suitcase by Borut Savski.
Advocacy
Another important feature of the Artservis.si endavours is its off-line activity. The members of the editorial team monitor the development of the cultural policy and together with the Odprta zbornica ("Open Chamber"), Asociacija, Association of Arts and Culture NGOs and Freelancers, and the Syndicate Conference of the Self-employed artists (SUKI) at the Glosa Syndicate, act as an important civil society partner in the dialogue with the governement.
In 2009 the Artservis team organised an international round table on Self-organising of Artists for the Improvement of their Position in the Kino Šiška Urban Culture Centre with the guests from Croatia and Serbia.
