Carnica Institute
In 2017, Zavod Carnica transformed from an art hub into a regional hub for non-governmental organizations and individuals operating in the cultural and creative sectors, civil society, environment, and public space. As the initiator of Kranj with Gorenjska‘s bid to obtain the title of European Capital of Culture, the institute became a connector of stakeholders in the Gorenjska region, conducting activities such as information dissemination, advising, education, research, advocacy, networking, promotion, and support for individuals, associations, and institutions. Carnica carries out the tasks of a network of non-governmental organizations and develops programs that strengthen the sector in the Gorenjska region.
Projects
Since 2010, Carnica has been managing the Layer House, a cultural center in the city of Kranj, Slovenia, and since 2019 it manages the Pungert Tower, children cultural center in the Old Town. With Public Institute Prešeren Theatre Kranj Carnica co-manages the programme of the Škrlovec Tower. Carnica has 8 employees and more than 20 external collaborators.

> Piano Music Festival Pianopolis
> Musicians-in-Residence Cycle Dvocikel
> Artists-in Residence Layer
> Art Exhibitions Program
> Layer Publishing and Writers-in-Residence
> and all those little events happening when you are around just by chance sipping your coffee or beer. Interested in more?

Carnica Institute
Carnica Institute is a cultural non-governmental organisation based in Kranj, Slovenia. Since it was established in 2010, the main activities of the Carnica Institute have been managing cultural public infrastructure, managing and organizing cultural and social events, activities and campaigns, implementing the connections and collaborations between communities, cultural operators and local government, and developing and implementing cultural strategies. The activities of Carnica Institute are supported by European, national and local cultural funds.
In 2017, Zavod Carnica transformed from an art hub into a regional hub for non-governmental organizations and individuals operating in the cultural and creative sectors, civil society, environment, and public space.

Zavod Carnica
Zavod Carnica je kulturna nevladna organizacija s sedežem v Kranju. Od ustanovitve leta 2010 so glavne dejavnosti zavoda upravljanje javne kulturne infrastrukture, upravljanje in organizacija kulturnih in družabnih dogodkov, dejavnosti in kampanj, izvajanje povezav in sodelovanj med skupnostmi, kulturnimi izvajalci in lokalno upravo ter razvoj in izvajanje kulturnih strategij. Dejavnosti Zavoda Carnica podpirajo evropski, nacionalni in lokalni kulturni programi.
Zavod Carnica se je v letu 2017 iz umetniškega stičišča (art hub) preobrazila v regijsko točko za nevladne organizacije in posameznike delujoče v kulturnem in kreativnem sektorju, civilni družbi, okolju in javnem prostoru. Kot pobudnik prijave Kranja z Gorenjsko za pridobitev naziva Evropske prestolnice kulture je zavod postal povezovalec akterjev v gorenjski regiji ter izvajalec dejavnosti informiranja, svetovanja, izobraževanja, raziskovanja, zagovorništva, mreženja, promocije in podpore posameznikom, društvom in zavodom. Carnica opravlja naloge mreže nevladnih organizacij in razvija programe, ki krepijo sektor na Gorenjskem.
