Established in 1973, Lendava-Lendva International Artists Colony is the second oldest art colony in Slovenia, and has hosted over 150 artists, painters as well as sculptors, since its inception. The project was initiated by Lendava sculptor Ferenc Kiraly, holder of the prestigious Hungarian Munkacsy Award, who invited artists from Croatia, Italy, Austria, Hungary and other countries. Today the colony is run by Lendava-Lendva Gallery and Museum, which also collects annually a selection of artworks conceived at the colony - today its collection contains over 600 art pieces. At the 2006 symposium 14 artists from Slovenia, Italy, Denmark, Germany, Hungary and Austria created new works that were later on exhibited in the Lendava/Lendva Gallery and Museum premises.

Since 1996 the event has also featured the LindArt youth fine arts colony and lately also a winter colony at Lendava Castle. The latter takes place at the end of January, when artists are invited to produce works related to various folk customs.
