Established in 1997 at Metelkova mesto Autonomous Cultural Zone, the army barracks-turned-cultural complex located in the centre of Ljubljana, KUD Mreža (KUD Network) initially engaged primarily in visual arts projects there, but later also took over the organisation of other activities.

Nowadays it carries out a wide range of activities, mediating information, fundraising, concerts and festival production, etc. Since 2003, KUD Mreža has been managing the renovations of buildings within ACC Metelkova Mesto with the support of the Ljubljana City Council.

Core projects

KUD Mreža organises cultural events (international festivals such as the International Feminist and Queer Festival Red Dawns and the Personal–Collective Festival), runs the music concert cycles FriForma (for improvised music) and Metabonma (for contemporary classical music), operates the Alkatraz Gallery (contemporary art exhibitions, performances) and the Studio Asylum, runs art auctions and organises art workshops (painting, graphic art, sculpture, metal sculpture, etc.), and also manages an archive of photographic, audio and video materials regarding Metelkova mesto and the events occurring there.

The "Urban Art Projects" [Urbani likovni projekti] are devoted to the renovations and art exhibitions in public spaces at Metelkova mesto, such as creating and arranging Hajlends Park at Metelkova mesto, making mosaics, etc.

Together with the Society for the Protection of Atheistic Feelings (DZAČ), KUD Mreža converted the Metelkova mesto venue Klub Menza pri koritu into a popular club that hosts concerts, events and workshops by local and international musicians, performers, artists, and more. As of 2015, the association is not running the place any more.

International cooperation

KUD Mreža participates in international co-operation and together with ACC Metelkova holds a membership in Trans Europe Halles, a European Network of Independent Cultural Centres.

Since 2007 the association manages an artist-in-residence programme (Atelje Azil - Studio Asylum) intended for artists from different disciplines. It has hosted numerous artists from a number of countries, including Croatia, France, Japan, Great Britain, Germany, and Norway.

KUD Mreža is the Slovene host for the international project La caravane des dix mots that takes place in more than 40 countries world-wide.
