Folio Magazine was established by KIBLA Multimedia Centre in 2009 as a "guide to intermedia art, culture and the joy of life". This bilingual quarterly in newspaper format brings mostly interviews with Slovene and international artists and cultural operators.

The content in the first four issues derives from the international activities of the multimedia centre as well as its KiBela Art Space programme, however, Folio strives to become the central newspaper in the upcoming European Capital of Culture 2012 (Maribor and partner cities) activities. Folio is a free magazine available in several art spaces throughout Slovenia or by request (for the cost of shipping).
