Tasks
It is the task of the Ministry of Culture to provide suitable opportunities for cultural creation and the protection of the cultural heritage. To this end, the Ministry works on the basis of the three main principles of cultural policy: quality, accessibility, and diversity. Undoubtedly the first task of the Ministry is to provide suitable opportunities for top-level creativity in cultural spheres. Equally important is the guaranteeing of the greatest possible accessibility of cultural assets, since the right to culture ranks among fundamental human rights. Closely connected to these two principles is the attention that the Ministry of Culture devotes to cultural diversity. Additionally, the Ministry protects the right to freedom of expression in the media.
Background
The Ministry of Culture was founded in June 1991 on the basis of the Organisation and Competence of the Republic Administration Act. Under this Act, the existing Republic Secretariat for Culture continued its work as the Ministry of Culture and took over its functions and staff. The existing Republic Secretary for Culture became the Minister for Culture. After Slovenia's proclamation of independence, the Republic of Slovenia gained its first Minister for Culture on 28 June 1991, the day the Act entered into force.
Funding
Where funding of public institutions is concerned, there are special calls for archive institutions and libraries, for movable cultural heritage institutions (mostly museums), for unmovable cultural heritage projects (investments in infrastructure) and for audio-visual programmes. All public state cultural institutions are required to present their following year's programmes to the Ministry of Culture, which then decides on their annual subsidy according to the annual budget.
For non-governmental organisations, the Ministry announces (usually in Autumn) a call for public cultural programmes and projects run by non-governmental cultural organisations. Subsequently 42 cultural programme organisers and producers were selected from amongst 76 applicants in various disciplines to sign 4-year contracts for the period 2010-2013 (15 in the field of music, 14 theatre and dance producers, 8 visual arts organisations (including architecture and design), 5 new media producers). In addition, every autumn there is a bid for cultural and artistic projects in all art disciplines, which are open also to individual artists, including international projects. Another call covers vocational training organised by NGOs.
There are also some additional special public calls related to international co-operation. One allows creators to bid for short-term residency in apartments owned by the Ministry in New York City, Berlin, London and Paris. Another determines the operator of the EU Cultural Contact Point Slovenia and Mediadesk.si or the info hub of the Balkan Incentive Fund for Culture (BIFC). Other calls are for the organisers/curators of the Venice Biennale and Venice Biennale of Architecture.
Every year there is also a special call for cultural activities by the Italian and Hungarian ethnic minorities, the Romany community and other ethnic minority groups and immigrants in the Republic of Slovenia.
