Mission
The program of Art Factory is based on a pure artistic enthusiasm of its curator Dušan Fišer, since, although financially supported by the Municipality of Majšperk, it has no reliable funding. The guiding principle of the project is the sense of duty to contribute to the region, to give to Haloze added value, namely quality exhibitions of young and recognized, Slovenian and foreign artists, as Dušan Fišer told reporter Brigita Mohorič in a radio show Fine Arts Echoes at Radio Slovenia Third Channel - ARS. Art Factory in Majšperk has emerged from the desire to raise people's awareness, that art and culture have always been connected with life, and especially in the modern times, when we are critically questioning the meaning of life. Art, however, is a medium that can pass this critical insight, Fišer says. At the same time, Art Factory does not want to profile itself in a certain genre, but to leave the art space open.
Programme
Art Factory in Majšperk is a venue of many exceptional cultural events, such as the painting installation Slovenian Workers Today by Anka Krašna, the painting exhibitions by Matej Čepin and Rudi Skočir, the group exhibition Geomitrija, where Dušan Fišer, Beti Bricelj and Duša Jesih exhibited, the group exhibition of Ptuj’s photographers, the group exhibition Faces, where 19 Slovenian and foreign artists, such as Andrej Brumen Čop, Tjaša Čuš, Riko Debenjak, Metod Frlic, Marko Jakše, Aleksij Kobal, Jure Kalan, Stojan Kerbler, Gani Llalloshi, Keiko Miyazaki, Tomaž Plavec, Zora Stančič, Jože Tisnikar and many others were presented.
Art Factory is also one of the venues of the annual Days of Poetry and Wine Festival, organized by Beletrina Publishing Institute, and it is also part of the annual Art Stays, International Festival of Contemporary Art, the largest Slovenian festival of contemporary visual art, which is held in Ptuj: in this context Herman Pivk, Oto Rimele and Manfred Mörth from Austria also exhibited in the Art Factory gallery, and in 2018 the exhibition Crash me gently brings together the works of Slovenian artists dealing with ceramics, Tanja Boh Sokolov, Dragica Čadež Lapajne, Milojka Drobne, Meta Kastelic, Ines Kovačič and many others.
