The annual Ptuj Artists Colony was jointly initiated in 2001 by Art Salon, Ptuj, Ptuj Regional Museum and Mihelič Gallery, Ptuj. Held in the Summer months, it is an annual event which regularly sees artists from Italy, Spain, Poland, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia and other countries in the region working at a temporary studio in the castle tower, where they create new works related to the picturesque environment of Ptuj. The final artworks are exhibited at Mihelič Gallery.

In recent years an additional annual event, the Ex Tempore, has been added to the programme. Held in February simultaneously to the traditional Kurentovanje festival, it involves over 100 painters from Slovenia, Italy, Austria, Croatia and other neighbouring countries creating works which depict masks.
