Kamnik Cultural AiR Programme was established in 2020 in Mekinje Monastery in the city of Kamnik. In 2016, the Ursuline sisters donated the Mekinje Monastery to the Municipality of Kamnik. Over the course of five years, 19 rooms were established within the monastery, enabling the development of art residency programmes.

Residency programme

The residence welcomes artists from the fields of cultural heritage, music, theatre and dance. The residents are personally invited by the Public Institute for Culture Kamnik and their applications are reviewed by a three-member committee. The average duration of a residency is one week. Accommodation and meals are provided by the institute; in the case of a funded AiR programme, a scholarship and travel grant are provided as well. Artists-in-residence may be expected to present their work through exhibitions and, if relevant, to carry out workshops for local participants and wider audiences.
