+ | The story of [[Pivka House of Culture]] (''Hiša kulture'') began in [[established::1998]] when a group of artists occupied an empty space in the center of Pivka and arranged it in such a way that a wide range of cultural activities became possible. Here, a program began to unfold that covered the entire field of contemporary urban culture, and the gallery has consistently been a focal point of these activities. The new team that took over Hiša kulture in 2013 put the gallery program at the forefront and began to develop and expand it with various funding programs. Today, [[Pivka House of Culture]] is the most important contemporary art gallery in the region between Ljubljana and Koper. | ||
