Celica Hostel
Opening its doors in 2003, the hostel was run by the Šouhostel Institute, a non-profit organisation established by the Student Organisation of the University of Ljubljana. Since 2018 the hostel has been closed by the Municipality of Ljubljana due to the management shift and renovation.
Art programmes
Besides being located at Metelkova, the centre of Ljubljana's alternative cultural happenings, the hostel itself is also a venue for various cultural programmes: jam sessions by Slovene and foreign musicians take place every Tuesday, and literary events or concerts are held on Fridays. They are organised either indoors or in the summer garden, where each start of June the Godibodi Festival also takes place.
Celica Hostel's small gallery space, the Srečišče ("Meeting Point") Gallery, hosts monthly art exhibitions that feature works by both established as well as emerging artists. Most of Celica's events and exhibitions are organised by KUD Sestava, though other institutions also occasionally set up their events there. Additionally, the hostel regularly hosts workshops, poetry readings, debates and presentations on various themes, from literature, philosophy and music to nature, aesthetics and history, etc.
