Zavod K6/4 is a non-profit cultural institution from Ljubljana, Slovenia, that produces, organizes and promotes creativity of the young and daring. It operates in the field of live urban culture by stimulating the development of non-commercial, unconventional, avantgarde forms and contents of creative energy. It explores emerging artistic expressions and presents international art trends.

Zavod K6/4 was established in 2000 as a result of re-structuring of the Student Organisation of the University of Ljubljana which is also one of its founders (the other is the Union of Student Clubs of Slovenia). It is hosted in the building of the Student Organisation of the University of Ljubljana, using also its other infrastructure for different projects and programs, most of which were in the years before the establishment of Zavod K6/4 already run by its founder/host. Rich experience is therefore based on many years of fruitful operation in the field of contemporary arts and culture that go back much further than the establishment of Zavod K6/4.

The program scheme of Zavod K6/4 is based on the ambition to become the central Slovene platform of live, emerging and thought-provoking culture. Thus, Zavod K6/4 is developing numerous programs and projects, within which young creators can efficiently express their creative energy, sharpen it with educational activities and assess it with the help of the audience.

The main projects and programs implemented by Zavod K6/4 are:

Kapelica Gallery
Kapelica Gallery is one of the central scenes of contemporary art research in Slovenia. It enables people from different artistic environments to experiment with new paradigms and borders in contemporary art. The gallery program is based on presentation of art production that is scarce or completely absent in other Slovene galleries. The point of interest are not paintings, but space installations and ambiences; not theatre, dance or concerts, but performances and artistic actions; not one-way lectures, but artistic presentations with educational potential.

Club K4
Club K4 has for over a decade been known as the central scene of progressive music culture of the young in Slovenia. It is an active generator of music trends and not only their passive stage. It spots new, unconventional musical talents in Slovenia, provides them the opportunity to develop, and also presents new musical tendencies from abroad.

Cyberpipe
Cyberpipe is the central scene of cyber culture in Slovenia. It offers educational programs connected with new media, stimulates and presents technology-supported art projects, and provides a platform for operation and development of civil movements using tecnology as means of social action.

Break 2.2 Festival
Break 2.2 Festival (previously known as Break 21 Festival) is an international art festival that presents young emerging artists with orientation towards urban, technologically supported arts and intermedia artistic practices that are perceived as current avantgarde.
