Culture.si Content Reuse/Worldwide Events Listings

Worldwide events on Culture.si

A selected listing of upcoming exhibitions, screenings, concerts, performances, readings, residencies, and other events and activities involving Slovene artists and researchers abroad. This unique source of information offers a preview of future events around the world and a growing archive of international activity in the field of arts and culture.

Events organisers and producers are encouraged to send us their events for inclusion in our listings. In addition to posting your events on Culture.si, you can post the Culture.si data feed on your own website. This document explains how.

• Producers - national and municipal cultural institutions or non-governmental cultural organisations with an international programme
• Embassies and consulates (Newsletters)

Events archive

The events archive can be filtered:

• by year (since 2010)
• by country (currently 70 countries)
• by discipline (e.g. theatre, visual arts, film, design, education, intangible heritage, etc.).

Criteria

First, we use the following criteria in selecting events to be listed:

• events organised by Slovene producers, featuring professional art and artists;
• participation at international festivals;
• contributions by Slovene researchers at international conferences related to arts & culture;
• selected public events organised by Slovene embassies (cultural weeks, events at notable venues)

The Culture.si worldwide events listings do NOT cover:

• closed events that are not accessible to the wider public;
• amateur cultural events;
• small-scale events of the Slovene communities abroad;
• regular events of Slovene language university departments abroad;
• past events (although all future events become part of our searchable archive of events).

Reusing our data

There are various ways you can reuse the events listings data for your needs:

• filter and export data in the upcoming events as well as archives
• the Worldwide Events Listings can also be furnished with free images from the Culture.si database or with sections of articles about producers or art groups.

Examples of the RSS:

Although there is currently no example of the "Worldwide Events" as a RSS feed, the following links show other examples of how our data is shared to other portals:
