The Center for culture and creativity



Serbian institutions and authors

The Foundation co-finances and sponsors actions and organizations of significance for our national culture such as the Zmaj Children's Festival, the Festival of Children's Theatre, the Desanka Maksimovic Endowment, the Serbian Festival of Puppet Theatre and others. The Foundation also helps distinguished authors. Thus, the Karic Foundation with cooperation with EUnet organized and finances the establishment of a web site devoted to the internationally respected writer Milorad Pavic. The site, "www.khazars.com" contains tens of pages showcasing the author and his work. The Foundation plans to launch other Yugoslav artists into cyber space.

With its donations the Foundation has helped the organization of numerous exhibitions by Yugoslav artists, the publication of their monographs and a number of painters' colonies. We have sponsored the publication of monographs on Zoran Nastic and Milenka Acimovic, a book on Nikola Tesla, the monograph "Approaching Mount Athos" and many others. Exhibitions of Mica Popovic and Ljubinka Jovanovic, and a number of collective exhibitions have also been sponsored by the Foundation.

The Foundation also provides scholarships for young artists wishing to pursue their studies or exhibit abroad. The Foundation also helps the work the Academy of Arts at the "Braca Karic" university which educates young actors, directors, ballet dancers, opera singers and photographers.
