Vodnik Homestead

Vodnik Homestead, the birthplace of poet and the first Slovenian grammarian Valentin Vodnik (1758–1819), is now a vibrant cultural center dedicated to literature, art, and creative exploration. It connects literary traditions with contemporary cultural practices and hosts a diverse range of events – from literary evenings, reading clubs, and workshops to exhibitions and concerts.

The rich program and unique atmosphere are curated by Divja misel, an organization also known for Library Under the Treetops, a popular project that brings books and reading corners to parks and courtyards across Ljubljana.

Each year, Vodnik Homestead hosts the Children’s Book Festival, the Engaged Writing Festival, and the December Illustration Fair.
