It was not long before the project spread outside the local area and to deal with this widr scope of things, Imago Sloveniae was formally established in 1994. Currently it collaborates with 25 Slovene municipalities and towns, gathering the same number of cultural venues from all over the country came under one umbrella organization. This network is utilised to bring high-quality culture to the smaller, peripheral towns.
Other aims of the project are revitalisation of architectural heritage, the discovery of new sites for cultural events (open air, unusual venues in the streets, courtyards, churches, museums), the artistic development of young musicians, promotion of new music and free accessibility. The latter means that almost all of their events are accessible for free.
