Funding
All public state cultural institutions, for instance theatre houses, are required to present their following year's programmes to the Ministry, which then decides on their annual subsidy according to the annual budget.
For non-governmental organisations working in the field of performing arts, musical arts, visual arts, architecture and design or new media art, the Creativity Directorate prepares every four years the call for public cultural programmes. Thus for the period 2014–2017 the 32 organisations have been selected for the programme support (12 organisations from the field of music, 8 performing arts organisations, 7 organisations engaged in architecture, design or visual arts, and 5 organisations from the field of intermedia (new media art). The ministry announces also a call for a 2-year support for cultural projects and an annual project call for smaller producers or individuals. There are also some additional special public calls.
Funding related to literature and publishing has been performed by the Slovenian Book Agency, while the national cultural programme in the sphere of film is implemented by the Slovenian Film Centre.
International cooperation section
The international section of the Directorate implements also annual calls for the Slovene Arts & Culture Residencies Programme that offers appartments in Berlin, London, Vienna and New York for Slovene artists, writers, translators, curators, critics, producers, etc.
Since 2011 special funding can be acquired from the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the selected cultural events organised by the Slovene embassies and consulates round the world.
Other tasks
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 should 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.
