The Social Activities Department of Kamnik Municipality is responsible for social and health care, education and sports as well as for public culture and cultural heritage preservation.
Amateur culture has a rich programme created by 20 cultural associations, some of them with a very a long tradition (Kamnik Brass Orchestra was established 155 years ago and the Kamnik Singers Association Lira was founded 120 years ago). The Department gets around 70 applications when the annual bid for cultural projects is issued. A special bid for the summer cultural programme and projects staged in the old quarter of the city has been launched recently.
The local branches of the Union of Cultural Societies of Slovenia (ZKDS) and the Public Fund for Cultural Activities of the Republic of Slovenia (JSKD) facilitate the activities of local cultural organisations and act as mediators in respect of state and municipal funding.
