There are but a few institutions in cultural and intellectual space like developmental and artistic center in Goričko, eastern Slovenia.

In a few years of its existence, a wide range of artistic, theoretical and educational activities were organized; meetings, lectures, workshops and summer schools for artists, researchers, philosophers and creators from Slovenia and abroad, with a large spectrum of interests. Special attention was given to the indispensable linkage between theory and reflection on one side and social movements on the other; feministic, artistic, ecological etc.

The Art Center’s significance lies not only in its already proven cultural and humanistic projects. Its undisturbed agency is of extraordinary educational importance for everyone attending school, university, and devoted to permanent life-long education. International extension of its activities is of no less importance.

The work done in the Art Center so far is a proof that all this activities – cultural, theoretical and diverse educational – have a substantial potential to grow and thus fill the wide gap in Slovene and international intellectual, research and artistic space. On top of that, the conditions for work and living are stimulative for a creation of the new.

It is altogether illegitimate and it sad that the founders of the Art Center must still struggle for the right to exist. In the past, the undersigned established an active cooperation with the Art Center which we intend to maintain and strengthen further in the future. We join the public appeal to write off the debt that threatens the Art Center with public auction and thus ensure basic and necessary conditions for its undisturbed functioning.
