== History ==

The building of KUD France Prešeren, affectionately called KUD, has over an extensive cultural history. It goes back to 1919, when a local cultural and educational society, KUD France Prešeren, was formed. In recent decades, the venue has been recognised primarily as a place of alternative culture events, especially at the annual international [[Trnfest Festival]] and [[Emona Promenade Festival]] in August.

In autumn 2013, [[KUD France Prešeren]], the previous owner, ceased with its programme and the building was put on sale. In 2017, it was purchased by the Centre of Slavic Cultures France Prešeren which launched a new programme scheme, but it also retained some of the old programme, such as [[Trnfest Festival|Trnfest]].

== Programme ==

The premises of the Centre of Slavic Cultures are available for various cultural and creative events: the legendary Improliga regularly organises its improvisational theatre shows there. The Centre regularly organises Stand-Up comedy and Open Mic evenings, concerts of contemporary music genres, from jazz &ndash; also with the renowned Jazz Club Gajo as a co-organiser &ndash; to trap. Every August the centre hosts the traditional international summer festival Trnfest, a month of concerts and events.

In addition to the multi-purpose exhibition space, which has 60 seats with tables, the facilities include a fully-equipped concert hall with 110 seats or 200 stands, a lounge bar, spaces for various lectures or workshops, and spaces for individual artists. The courtyard with its outdoor stage and bar can host up to 1,500 visitors.
