Managed byMinistry of Education, Science, Culture and Sport

Since March 2012 the Creativity Directorate established in the frame of the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sport covers a number of areas (previously covered by the Directorate of Arts of the former Ministry of Culture): performing arts, musical arts, visual arts, architecture and design, intermedia art and the sector of book and library science.

Next to annual or special calls for public funding, the directorate also monitors the projects financed by the European funds. The ministry supports the Cultural Contact Point Slovenia, the Media Desk Slovenia office and the Balkan Incentive Fund for Culture (BIFC) hub to assist cultural organisations with the information related to European funding (EU Culture Programme, Media Programme, structural funds, European Cultural Foundation BIFC Grant Programme).

The international section of the Directorate coordinates also annual calls for the Slovene Arts & Culture Residencies Programme meant for Slovene artists, writers, translators, curators, critics, producers etc. regardless of the discipline.

The directorate is responsible also for the procedures related to scholarships and social instruments (self-employment, recognised and exceptional pensions) in the area of culture. It coordinates the work of the Prešeren Fund Secretariat, which confers annual Prešeren Award and Prešeren Foundation Awards. As the Creativity Directorate ensures accessibility to thorough information on the arts in Slovenia, it funds the SIGIC, Slovene Music Information Centre, the Sigledal.org - Slovene theatre portal and the Culture.si portal for international cooperation.
