ART STAYS 2010, INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL OF CONTEMPORARY ART

(20. 7. 2010 – 30. 8. 2010), Ptuj, SLOVENIA





ART STAYS, International festival of Contemporary Art, is with ART PTUJ the main annual visual art event in the region of Ptuj. It started in 2003 as a visual art workshop for young European artists. This year's program includes 10-day residency working sessions and several four-week-long exhibitions.



The 8th edition of ART STAYS 2010 will host over 50 artists from 15 different countries: Austria, Bulgary, Great Britain, Italy, Slovenia, Germany, Spain, Slovakia, Hungary, Switzerland, USA, Singapore, Australia, Finland and Ireland and 4 continents: Europe, Asia, North America and Australia.



Jernej Forbici, art director of ART STAYS said: “This year's ART STAYS will be the richest ever. It will host artists of great artistic quality and what is especially important for us, also great projects designed specifically for the city of Ptuj. For ten days we will be witnessing an outstanding development of different art projects and then for an entire month admiring the results at the exhibitions, taking place in more than ten exhibition spaces all over the city and elsewhere. The music festival Arsana that will take place in Ptuj at the same time is an outstanding music event that together with ART STAYS creates a big “festival happening” that we named ART PTUJ.”
