Archival article

The KUD France Prešeren Gallery is the exhibiting space of KUD France Prešeren Arts and Culture Association. It hosts a wide range of contemporary art exhibitions such as: experimental photography and photojournalism, sculpture, painting, comics, and recently also multimedia and computer graphic projects. Occasionally it features also fashion and design projects. The gallery does not have a classic curatorial approach. The programme is selected of projects arriving on an annual call for entries which is usually published in August or September.
