Poligon Creative Centre

History
Poligon was established in February 2014[9] by Slovenia Coworking (Luka Piškorič, Eva Perčič, Marko Orel) - national initiative for popularization of coworking in Slovenia with the help of supporting communities: Slovenia Crowdfunding, Kreativna cona Šiška, and Ljudje.si.
Poligon was created with the goal of promoting opportunities for self-employment of creative professionals in Ljubljana.[8] Poligon offered a coworking space for its community, makerspace, a crowdfunding lab, a classroom, a bar, a library, a gallery space, and organised many social and cultural events. It was part of the international coworking exchange program in cooperation with coworking spaces across Europe.[3]
Poligon was run by their three co-founders Piškorič, Orel, and Perčič (Matjaž).
Poligon ceased all of its operations 2019.[10]
Facilities
Poligon's space is 1200m2.[11] Besides offering a workspace, Poligon also holds workshops for self-employed entrepreneurs and makers, exhibitions as well as social events.[12]
Notable events
Since its founding, Poligon has had a positive impact on the creative sector in Slovenia.[13]
In 2015, Poligon was featured as part of the Remote Year program.[14]
