international art workshop

Arteden – the international art week, focused on the relations between minority and majority ethnic group in Europe, will take place for the 7th year in a row.

The experimental visual art workshop invites guests - artists from various European countries and offers a place for creating and expressing to others as well: to local artists or associations that take part in the initiatives, young, and, last but least, to the inhabitants of Lonjer.

In these seven years Arteden roused the curiosity people who like embarking on new adventures in terms of experiences, thoughts, relations. The five editions of the artweek established an inspiring network of lively relations. This year's programme is also focused on interactivity, the merging of different artistic approaches (painting, photography, mosaic, music, dancing, poetry ...) experimenting, openness and accessibility to everyone who whishes to take part in our summer art circuit.
Special attention will be given to the local slovenian artists-Arteden this year will be primarily an introduction for these young artists, but also a chance for them to meet artists from other geographical realities and different backgrounds.

We are really excited about the outcomes of the Arteden that are spreading also in other communities: in Wlles former participants, friends of Arteden, organized during last June a similar workshop, Celfeden; and also the Catalans in Barcelona are working in this direction!
