The Institute was founded in 2008 as a vehicle to organize, coordinate and promote various cultural institutions and events in the Municipality of Velenje. The institute organizes year-long music, theatre and children's cycles, runs the Kino Velenje and the Puppet and Dance theatre Velenje, sets up regional fairs and is responsible for the Pippi’s Longstocking festival, the Velenje Summer Festival and quite some other events as well.
Summer Cultural Events are comprised of a vast array of different activities, from yoga classes, sports competitions and weekly flea markets to travelogue presentations, puppet plays for children, open-air cinema screenings, theatre performances (like the Macbeth After Shakespeare, produced by Mini Theatre) and musical concerts.
As of the latter, the festival has hosted the likes of the renowned fado singer Lula Pena (PT), the legendary klezmer band The Klezmatics (US), the baroque music trio Ensemble Diatessaron (ES), the pop icon Josipa Lisac (HR), the world fusion group The Merry Poppins (AT), the hardcore collective Repetitor (HR), the Cuban orchestra Mariachi Real Jalisco (CU) and a diverse set of Slovene musicans like the singer-songwriter Iztok Mlakar, the 'schlager' singer Oto Pestner and the jazz bassist and composer Robert Jukič.
A part of the Summer Cultural Events programme is provided by producers from other parts of Slovenia like the Imago Sloveniae and the Seviqc Brežice Festival.
