The Slovene Art History Society, established in 1921 by Izidor Cankar, is a professional association of art historians and other active workers in the field of art history. Next to France Stele and Vojislav Mole, Izidor Cankar was one of the founders of the Slovene art history profession. The society researches and promotes Slovene and world art history and helps to protect cultural heritage. Since 1999 it has bestowed the Izidor Cankar Award biennially for professionals, individuals or groups from Slovenia or abroad who have made significant contributions in the field of Slovene art history. It is also a member of the International Committee of the History of Arts (CIHA).

Activity

Since its inception the society has published the Art History Journal along with a regular series of other writings by art historians as they have gradually mapped the topography of Slovene art. The gazette Bilten SUZD [The Bulletin of the Slovene Art History Society] is a serial publication issued five times a year in electronic form. Short scientific papers are reviewed. Another bulletin Library SUZD was conceived in 1997 to publish the conference papers of Slovene art historians.

The society also organises regular lectures of the members and visits to exhibitions and cultural monuments. It organises guest appearance of experts at national and international level, and experts meeting, such as the international colloquium Art and Architecture around 1400: Global and Regional Perspectives in co-organisation with the University of Maribor under the auspices of CIHA in 2011.
