Contemporary artists from all over the world will have their works displayed in Ptuj, Slovenia's oldest city, at the 22nd iteration of the Art Stays festival.

The opening weekend between 4 and 7 July will see a varied accompanying programme as all exhibition venues in and around Ptuj open their doors. The artworks will be on display until 8 September.

Themed The Space, the festival will seek answers to questions such as whether what defines the space and whether there is something beyond to what surrounds us.

The festival will open at the Dominican Monastery, followed by the opening concert by the Argentinian band La Fanfarria del Capitan at the festival stage in Slovenski Trg square.

The main festival exhibition The Space in the Ptuj City Gallery will open on 5 July, and the Art Stays opening party will take place on 6 July at Ptuj Castle.
