Collegium Artisticum was founded three years before the Second World War, made by intellectuals who returned to Sarajevo from the European cultural capitals of that time, willing to show and share their acquired knowledge and skills, and organized various cultural events from 1939 to 1941. In a work that had progressive elements of all the great cultural movements in Europe of the first half of the 20th century, the local tradition was not neglected either, with a clearly woven message of the importance of togetherness.
