Slovenia

Slovenia’s main cultural and congress centre, Cankarjev dom is annually visited by half a million art lovers, congress delegates and social event attendees. Between 1981 and 2018, Cankarjev dom attracted more than sixteen million visitors, it annually hosts around 18,000 different performers, including top-class artists who enjoy worldwide renown.

Cankarjev dom is convinced that cultural and artistic creativity, as well as scientific exploration, are essential prerequisites for achieving spiritual freedom, enriching people’s lives and fostering social development.

Our cultural and congress centre presents, produces, co-produces, organises and provides the venue for cultural and artistic events, congresses, conferences, corporate events and fairs, etc., state ceremonies, exhibitions and festivals. Primarily a cultural centre, CD annually dedicates more than two thirds of its programme to culture and the arts.

CD's programme is aimed at enhancing the quality of people's lives, building, developing, affirming and expressing the nation's cultural and broader identity, as well as fostering young people's appreciation of culture and the arts.

CD cooperates with similar cultural institutions at home and abroad in the implementation of contemporary cultural and artistic projects. In featuring world-renowned artists and scientists, as well as drawing international audiences and delegates, Cankarjev dom seeks to contribute to the openness of the capital city. We are confident that Ljubljana, by reason of its history, tourist appeal and cultural heritage, has the potential to become one of Europe’s most vibrant cultural and congress hubs.

We have been shaping Slovenia’s cultural landscape for over forty years.

The laying of Cankarjev dom’s foundation stone four decades ago, when an incredibly deep hole was dug in the heart of Ljubljana, was a cultural step of practically inconceivable proportions by today’s standards. According to Cankarjev dom’s first director, Miran Kert, investors were initially sceptical about the concept of such a cultural and congress centre, considering it hugely ambitious. They believed the centre was facing the daunting challenge of planning the programme for all the auditoriums and an even harder task of attracting audiences. Today, Cankarjev dom is bursting at the seams. It annually attracts more than half a million art lovers, congress delegates and social event attendees, and hosts around 18,000 different performers.

Cankarjev dom has left a strong mark on the past four decades. It has enriched the life of our community and the wider region. It was the setting for watershed historic moments that radically affected both social order and our way of life. Over the course of its history, Cankarjev dom has been providing its visitors with a wealth of insights into art, science, life and the world.
 

Culture and the Arts
Cankarjev dom is determined to retain its position as a key player in Slovenia's arts scene. It aims to continue engaging the world’s finest artists and ensembles and actively participating in international performing arts co-productions. It aspires to remain the most suitable venue for celebrating momentous events in Slovenian history and for various state ceremonies.

CD’s programme includes classical and contemporary forms of art, placing focus on both established, renowned artists and new practices of up-and-coming artists. Its programme runs through the whole gamut of world cultures, while paying special attention to the national artistic output and putting in the global context.

Whilst lacking an in-house ensemble or a permanent collection, Cankarjev dom is closely linked to two leading Slovenian orchestras: the Slovenian Philharmonic Orchestra and the RTV Slovenia Symphony Orchestra which perform the bulk of their programmes in Gallus Hall. On average, Cankarjev dom annually holds more than 1000 different types of public service events and 190 projects (with more than 800 events) organised within the framework of the commercial department.
 

Commercial Department
Cankarjev dom is Slovenia’s main congress centre whose credentials include the highest number of international congresses and a mobile group of professional congress organizers at various conference venues around Slovenia. Within the framework of its activities, CD enables many market stakeholders to organise their events and projects at the highest level of implementation in the inspiring setting of Ravnikar’s architecture.


Mission and Vision
Our mission is to address the key issues of individuals and (global) society based on insights gained in the past and visions for the future.

Our values are art and science as the cornerstones of social development, a society promoting equality of opportunity, sustainable development, innovation, advancement, excellence, professionalism and efficiency, responsibility and connectivity.

Cankarjev dom je največja kulturna in kongresna ustanova, ki jo vsako leto obišče pol milijona ljubiteljev umetnosti, udeležencev kongresnih prireditev in privržencev družabnih srečevanj. Od leta 1981 do 2018 je prireditve v Cankarjevem domu obiskalo več kot šestnajst milijonov ljudi, na odrih vsako leto nastopi okoli osemnajst tisoč različnih izvajalcev, med njimi nemalo vrhunskih umetnikov, ki jih upravičeno občuduje ves svet.

V Cankarjevem domu verjamemo, da sta kulturno-umetniško in znanstveno ustvarjanje temeljna pogoja za doseganje duhovne prostosti in bogatejšega duhovnega življenja ljudi ter razvoja družbe.

V našem kulturnem in kongresnem središču predstavljamo, produciramo, koproduciramo, organiziramo in posredujemo kulturno-umetniške, kongresne, sejemske, protokolarne ter druge prireditve, razstave in festivale. Ker smo predvsem kulturno središče, kulturi in umetnosti namenjamo letno več kot dve tretjini razpoložljivih terminov v dvoranah. S programom želimo izboljšati kakovost življenja, oblikovati, razvijati, udejanjati kulturno in širšo nacionalno identiteto ter kulturno-umetniško vzgajati mlade.

Pri uresničevanju sodobnih kulturno-umetniških projektov sodelujemo s sorodnimi kulturnimi ustanovami doma in po svetu. Tako si prizadevamo, da bi k odprtosti glavnega mesta pripomogli z vsestranskim kulturno-umetniškim in znanstvenim mednarodnim pretokom. Menimo, da je Ljubljana zgodovinsko, turistično in kulturno dovolj zanimivo mesto, da postane eno pomembnejših evropskih kulturnih in kongresnih središč.
 

Že več kot 40 let krojimo kulturno krajino Slovenije
Ko so graditelji pred štirimi desetletji začeli postavljati Cankarjev dom in v središču Ljubljane najprej izkopali neverjetno globoko jamo, so storili korak, ki je danes v kulturi skoraj nepredstavljiv. Po besedah prvega direktorja Cankarjevega doma, Mira Kerta, je bilo investitorje sprva strah, da je zasnova takšnega kulturno-kongresnega centra preveč optimistična in da bo številne prostore zelo težko napolniti s programom, še težje pa navdušiti obiskovalce, da bodo zahajali vanje. Danes Cankarjev dom poka po šivih. Vsako leto ga obišče pol milijona ljubiteljev umetnosti, udeležencev kongresnih prireditev in privržencev družabnih srečevanj, na odrih pa letno nastopi okoli osemnajst tisoč različnih izvajalcev.

Cankarjev dom je v zadnjih štirih desetletjih pustil močan pečat. Vplival je na življenje naše skupnosti in širše regije. Bil je prizorišče prelomnih zgodovinskih trenutkov, ki so korenito spremenili tako družbeno ureditev kot načine bivanja. Delovanje Cankarjevega doma je obiskovalcem prineslo neskončno morje spoznanj o umetnosti, znanosti, življenju in svetu.
 

Kulturno-umetniški program
V Cankarjevem domu želimo ohraniti vodilno vlogo kulturne dejavnosti v Sloveniji, gostiti največje umetnike in ansamble z vsega sveta ter dejavno soustvarjati mednarodne umetniške koprodukcije odrskih umetnosti. Prizadevamo si, da bi Cankarjev dom ostal najprimernejše središče za zaznamovanje pomembnih dogodkov v zgodovini Slovencev in številnih drugih protokolarnih dogodkov. Program CD predstavlja tako tradicionalne oziroma klasične kot sodobne oblike umetnosti ter na eni strani umetniško snovanje že uveljavljenih, referenčnih avtorjev in na drugi odkriva nove umetniške prakse še uveljavljajočih se umetnikov. Nabor vsebin programa zajema iz kultur vsega sveta, pri čemer posebno pozornost namenja umetniškim snovanjem iz Slovenije, ki jih postavlja v mednarodni kontekst.

Cankarjev dom nima lastnega ansambla ali stalne zbirke, programsko pa je tesno povezan z najpomembnejšima orkestroma v Sloveniji: Orkestrom Slovenske filharmonije in Simfoničnim orkestrom RTV Slovenija, ki velik del svojega programa izvedeta v največji Gallusovi dvorani. Letno sicer povprečno v Cankarjevem domu izvedemo več kot tisoč različnih zvrsti prireditev v okviru javne službe in sto devetdeset projektov (z več kot osemsto dogodki oziroma prireditvami) v okviru dejavnosti na trgu.
 

Dejavnost na trgu
Cankarjev dom je osrednji slovenski kongresni center z največjim številom mednarodnih kongresov in mobilno skupino profesionalnih kongresnih organizatorjev na drugih slovenskih kongresnih prizoriščih. V okviru svojega delovanja omogoča številnim deležnikom na trgu, da v prostorih navdihujoče Ravnikarjeve arhitekture organizirajo svoje dogodke in izvedejo projektne na najvišji izvedbeni ravni.
 

Poslanstvo in vizija
Naše poslanstvo je naslavljanje ključnih vprašanj posameznika in (globalne) družbe na podlagi spoznanj preteklosti in vizij prihodnosti.

Naše vrednote so umetnost in znanost kot temelja družbenega razvoja, družba enakih možnosti, trajnostni razvoj, inovativnost, prodornost, odličnost, strokovnost in učinkovitost, odgovornost ter povezanost.


Sklepa o ustanovitvi javnega zavoda Cankarjev dom
Cankarjev dom je javni zavod, ki ga je Vlada Republike Slovenije ustanovila kot osrednji slovenski kulturni center z namenom izvajanja kulturnega in umetniškega programa ter kongresne dejavnosti.

S svojim programom zagotavlja pogoje za razvoj in predstavljanje različnih umetniških praks, spodbujanje in razvijanje ustvarjalnosti, bogatenje kulturnega življenja, spodbujanje humanističnih in družbenih vrednot ter medkulturnega sodelovanja. Svoje poslanstvo uresničuje prek lastne produkcije in postprodukcije ter sodelovanja z javnimi zavodi, nevladnimi organizacijami, stanovskimi združenji, pravnimi osebami zasebnega prava in samozaposlenimi ustvarjalci v kulturi. S svojim delovanjem pomembno prispeva k dostopnosti kulture najširšemu krogu obiskovalcev iz Slovenije in tujine, s programsko usmerjenostjo v svet pa utrjuje mednarodno sodelovanje. Delovanje je sofinancirano iz proračunskih virov (javna služba), z nejavnimi prihodki javne službe in s prihodki dejavnosti na trgu (iz Sklepa o ustanovitvi javnega zavoda Cankarjev dom, kulturni in kongresni center, Ur. l. RS št. 103/13, 70/17).
