By performing distribution with the help of partner institutions pursuing educational and artistic contents and programmes we make sure that the magazine is available and accessible to the interested public nationwide. We plan to ensure availability in partner cities of the European capital of culture and in institutions that have been included in the cultural capital programme either via programmes or/and organisational activities. FOLIO is also distributed to all the embassies of the Republic of Slovenia and certain media institutions. Our particular awareness with regard to distribution goes to students of art as well as secondary school students of social sciences and humanities. We have thus been arranging with teachers at fine art departments and libraries of relevant schools to offer access to the magazine.

On European and world scale, the distribution focuses on cultural centres like Linz (Ars Electronica Center Linz, Lentos Kunstmuseum and OK Offenes Kulturhaus Linz), Graz (Kunsthaus Graz, Joanneum), Vienna (Mumok), Berlin (Slovenian Embassy in Berlin, galleries), Brussels, Marseille, Lisbon, Guimarães, Prague, Beijing… (Spain, Finland, Macedonia, Austria, Germany, France, USA, China) and on events, such as art fairs and festivals: Ars Electronica, Transmediale, Kinetika, Animateka, Kiblix, MFRU, HAIP, Amber in Turkey, Istanbul biennial, Preview Berlin. This is all largely due to partner cooperation of ACE KIBLA and its participation in numerous collaborations, activities and projects with foreign partners in Europe and around the world. The X-OP platform, eXchange of art operators and producers, serves as a major distribution basis and partner network for programmes and contents of the magazine. X-OP being a network of artists, researchers, operators, producers and centres, its formation resulted in a European platform for art production and exchange. Based on its locations, spaces and user-adapted technological structure, it encourages the mobility of artists, theoreticians and managers. The network currently comprises 14 organisations from Europe and Turkey. The project has been designed so as to foster pan European cooperation, joint production and an interdisciplinary approach to art.
Informing is ensured via our website. The magazine is being distributed over a long period of time, whereas contents from all the issues printed so far are also available online in PDF format. We use the Internet as a medium for topical information, announcements and short-term contents, whereas with FOLIO magazine we seek to ensure that its printed contents should not turn to environmentally burdening waste too quickly.
