Overview
The tradition of KUD goes back to 1919, when a local cultural and educational society was formed. After 1987, KUD and its activities extended beyond the old, local framework and began supporting quality alternative or not yet established culture, devoting special attention to underprivileged groups. KUD is nowadays a place where individuals and groups pursue their artistic, cultural, educational, societal, humanitarian, technical, and informational interests, while with its open social space policy, KUD promotes interaction between its visitors and the people who create and produce its various programmes, which is reflected in the planning and shaping of activities. Contributing to its recent history and image are some individuals and groups working permanently from KUD, such as Ana Monró Theatre, Roza's Theatre, Fru Fru Puppet Theatre,Narobov, Jani Kovačič with his Akkustik teArter, etc. as well as festivals, organised by KUD France Prešeren (see Projects).

The Centre incorporates an auditorium where theatre performances, concerts and children's shows are presented. It also organises exhibitions, lectures, literary readings, seminars, round table discussions and workshops, offering a pleasant location and infrastructure for visits by domestic and foreign artists or groups. The centre has played host to several workshops, discussions and seminars, too.
Numerous arts groups are based in the KUD France Prešeren Arts and Culture Association building, including Ana Monró Theatre, Roza's Theatre, Jani Kovačič, Dertum and the jazz group Lolita.
