All public state cultural institutions, for instance theatre houses, are required to present their following year's programmes to the Ministry, which then decides on their annual subsidy according to the annual budget. For non-governmental organisations working in the field of performing arts, musical arts, visual arts, architecture and design or new media art, the Creativity Directorate prepares calls for 4-year public cultural programmes and annual calls for the projects (usually in Autumn). There are also some additional special public calls.
Funding related to literature and publishing has been performed by the Slovenian Book Agency, while the national cultural programme in the sphere of film is implemented by the Slovenian Film Centre.
The international section of the Directorate implements also annual calls for the Slovene Arts & Culture Residencies Programme that offers appartments in Berlin, London, Vienna and New York for Slovene artists, writers, translators, curators, critics, producers, etc.
Since 2011 special funding can be acquired from the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the selected cultural events organised by the Slovene embassies and consulates round the world.
The directorate is responsible also for the procedures related to scholarships and social instruments (self-employment, recognised and exceptional pensions) in the area of culture. It coordinates the work of the Prešeren Fund Secretariat, which confers annual Prešeren Award and Prešeren Foundation Awards.
As the Creativity Directorate should ensures accessibility to thorough information on the arts in Slovenia, it funds the SIGIC, Slovene Music Information Centre, the Sigledal.org - Slovene theatre portal and the Culture.si portal for international cooperation.
Culture.si offers information on Slovene cultural producers, venues, festivals and support services, all in one place. It encourages international cultural exchange in the fields of arts, culture and heritage. The portal and its content is owned and funded by the Ministry of Culture, funded by the European Union Recovery and Resilience Plan and developed by Ljudmila Art and Science Laboratory.
