Recently renovated \u0160vicarija in the heart of Ljubljana, was first a wooden guest house, then artists’ studio, and now it turned into a special venue.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The \u0160vicarija Creative Centre<\/strong> operates as part of the International Centre of Graphic Arts (MGLC)<\/strong><\/a>, a venue that is on the site of a former wooden guest house opened back in 1835. In 1909, architect Ciril Metod Koch designed and built the Tivoli Hotel on the same spot, which became a renowned gathering place for various artists and bohemians. After World War II many Slovenian artists made their working home in the building, a tradition that lives on until today, with \u0160vicarija providing working and living studios for local artists and residential space for international ones. The hall on the ground floor and the courtyard in front of the building are available to rent for a variety of events.<\/p>\n

Recently renovated \u0160vicarija Creative Centre is located in the city\u2019s Tivoli Park<\/strong>, a building that could easily be missed on a first visit, as it is located behind the Tivoli Mansion that serves as an International Centre of Graphic Arts. Tivoli Park is by far the town\u2019s most beautiful park, designed by the French engineer Jean Blanchard in 1813 and stretching right into the city centre. The park covers an area of approximately five square kilometers and blends into the slopes of the adjoining Ro\u017enik Hill.\u00a0When hosting an event in \u0160vicarija Creative Centre it\u2019s worth keeping in mind the boutique size of Ljubljana, as it will take you only 20 minutes to get from the Triple Bridge, the heart of the city, to this venue set in the park.<\/p>\n

\u0160vicarija, as the former Tivoli Hotel in Ljubljana<\/strong> has been nicknamed and preserved, has since 2013 been recognised as a cultural monument. The Creative Centre, with which Ljubljana acquired a new cultural, educational and social centre, houses studios, galleries, residential facilities and a multipurpose space. As it was in the past, the building of the former hotel will once more be both a gathering place for artists but this time with a bonus \u2013 nowadays the venue will also serve as a gallery presenting their works too. The multipurpose space is available for hosting various events, next to which a smaller coffee shop is located.\u00a0With this new venue one can decide on hosting an event in the middle of the city, but at the same time in the middle of a natural setting<\/strong> and thereby enjoying the best of both worlds.<\/p>\n

A hall and a garden are available to rent at the \u0160vicarija Creative Centre. The hall<\/strong>, which goes by the name Radetzky<\/em><\/strong>, can host 220 attendees in cinema layout, 180 attendees in classroom layout, 210 attendees for a reception and 150 attendees in banquet\/seating buffet. The entire hall area covers 240 square metres with a ceiling height of five metres. Impressia<\/em><\/strong> is the name given to the garden<\/strong>, where 700 attendees can be seated in cinema layout, 320 attendees in classroom layout, 600 attendees for a reception and 350 attendees in banquet\/seating buffet. The total area covered by the garden is 800 square metres.<\/p>\n

When hosting an event at the \u0160vicarija venue the catering<\/strong> will be taken care of by the \u201cMeta in bazilika<\/em>\u201d catering company, who also operate together with the \u0160vicarija coffee shop located on site.<\/p>\n
