We would also like to announce our "summer summit 2004" project. Our annual event promotes international dialogue between artists from different world communities. This year it consists of two separate events, one in Chicago, and one in Slovenia, Europe. On the 9th of July the "summer summit" art exhibit opens in Chicago, and on the 3rd of September, the corresponding event opens in Poetovio, Slovenia's oldest city.

An old city waiting for new ideas, Poetovio is a Central European town that has embodied a crossroads of cultures throughout 40 and more centuries. It holds a memory of the former Yugoslavia and introduces Slovenia's new membership in the European Union. The main venue will be a medieval castle. Other venues include the Mythras shrine, two art galleries, an alternative art center, an abandoned manufactory place, an abandoned administrative building, open-air sites, etc.
