These include the international festival Jazzinty, the Simulaker Gallery, the Multimedia Center of Dolenjska, the international music festival Museum Gardens and the concert series Jazzinty Abonma. The promotion of creativity among young people is reflected in particular in projects such as the Photographic Experience, the Youth Creative Center – MUS and co-productions with other local and national partners, which also cover the fields of film, literature, visual arts and interdisciplinary, multimedia forms of contemporary art.
