This department focuses on contributing to and protection of the art and cultural heritage of Hvar. Through serving as a space for artistic exploration, creation, and cultural discovery, it will serve to build local awareness and pride in the rich artistic and cultural history of the island and serve as a creative bridge and space for more strongly linking Hvar with cultural and artistic actors and traditions beyond.
“ The Institute is…connecting the history with what we are and what we want to leave behind for future generations; It is about the past, present, and the emerging. ”
