See below the list of visual arts festivals, i.e. biennials that have featured individual artists or exhibitions from Slovenia. The data source is the database of worldwide events, collected since 2010.

Participation at some biennials or other forms of festivals abroad has been mostly coordinated by the producers themselves, either national or municipal cultural institutions or NGO producers that run international post-production.

A network of Slovenian embassies and the Slovenian cultural centers in Berlin or Vienna have provided data for the database of worldwide events and sometimes offered support for some performing arts events abroad.

In case you miss the festival or author(s) presented abroad, please let us know. Cf. ([[Culture.si_Content_Reuse/Worldwide_Events_Listings|Content Reuse])
