Festival Atmosféra was founded in 2012 as an initiative of then 17 years old founder Grétka Pavlovová, who was born and raised in the rural region of Hontianske Nemce. From a small regional event, the three-day Atmosféra has professionalized over 12 years and became a well-recognized event on the cultural map of Slovakia. Two years in a row, in 2021 and 2022, the festival was mentioned as one of the top cultural events of the year in Slovakia in the ranking of independent press - Dennik N.
The goal of Atmosféra is throughout interdisciplinary experiences challenge visitors to understand themselves and the people around them, in order to strengthen a social responsibility in their perceptions and participation in community. The Atmosféra is an inspiration, an invitation to be sensitive and active to the topics around us.
