The Slovenian Culture and Information Centre (SKICA) in Vienna at the Embassy of the Republic of Slovenia, together with the Slovene Arts & Culture Residency programme by the Ministry of Culture is a backbone of a vivid and intense cultural cooperation between the two neighbour states.
Every third day Slovene artists and producers feature at cultural events in Austria. (Check the database or explore the map.) Half of these events take place in Vienna and there is also a strong connection with Carinthia, the region with a culturally prolific Slovenian minority. This year the Grand Austrian State Prize goes to writer Florjan Lipuš (b. 1937) who has written in Slovenian language. In 2011, however, Maja Haderlap (b. 1961), also a Carinthian writer, was bestowed the Ingeborg Bachmann Prize, one of the most important awards for literature in the German language, for the novel Angel of Forgetting.
Slovene artists and producers regularly participate at established Austrian festivals: Waves Vienna (MENT Ljubljana, Kino Šiška Centre for Urban Culture, SIGIC, Slovene Music Information Centre...), Vienna Design Week (Niko Kralj, Gigodesign, Poligon Creative Centre...), LET'S CEE Film Festival (Staragara, Sever & Sever Production, Petra Pan Film Production...), Festival of Literature and Wine in Krems (Versopolis), and Ars Electronica in Linz (Kapelica Gallery). Two Slovene artist have even won the prestigious Golden Nica Award there: (Marko Peljhan in 2001 and Maja Smrekar in 2017). The P74 Centre and Gallery regularly presents artists at the ViennaFair, while Galerija Fotografija and Photon Gallery participate at the ViennaPhotoBook Festival. In 2013 Photon opened a gallery space in Vienna.
Quite a few partnerships have lasted for years, among them the collaboration between the temporary RadioCona and the Ö1 Kunstradio, or the creative collaboration between the accordionists Bratko Bibič and Otto Lehner.
