In the last semester, despite the difficult conditions caused by Covid-19, the staff of Piran Coastal Galleries worked hardly to improve the quality of its public service, introducing some necessary changes in order to keep being a benchmark in the national and international art scene.
The website was redesigned, prioritizing visual appeal and accessibility; for the first time in the history of this institution, the website will have an international profile, offering every content in Slovene, Italian and English.
Moreover, there will be a webpage dedicated to an interactive virtual guide of the international sculpture collection Forma Viva. This will also be available in three languages, offering the possibility of appreciating this marvellous artistic tradition both to the local and to the international public. The texts are complemented with videos and pictures taken with the bird\u2019s eye shot with the help of a drone.<\/p>\n

In the last month, the HR department also made some important steps forward, adding new precious elements to the staff; between 20.05.2021 and 01.06.2021 five new employees joined the institution, funded by external sources. Among them, there are three young professionals coming from an academic background, now part of the new International Internship Program (an assistant curator, a digital art director, an art critic) and two expert professionals with long working experience (an art historian and anthropologist, and an IT specialist).<\/p>\n
