History
From 1976 until 2005 the Velenje Gallery was organised as as part of the former Ivan Napotnik Cultural Centre. Today it is a separate institution, situated in a modernist building designed in 1971 by Adi Miklavc, which stands in daring contrast to adjacent buildings in the square which are just one decade older.
Exhibitions
Beside solo exhibitions of the young generation of local artists with represented by Uroš Potočnik and Barbara Jurkovšek or local artists like Željko Opačak and Stane Špegel, who prepared the exhibition inspired by local monuments in 2009 in cooperation with Peter Marinšek and Mladen Stropnik, the Velenje Gallery also features solo exhibitions of established Slovene artists like Metka Krašovec.
In recent years the Velenje Gallery has hosted the annual exhibition by the Slovene Fine Art Critics Association (DSLK). The 20th anniversary exhibition of the annual Velenje Artists' Colony for ALUO graduates was opened in 2009 by Bojan Gorenec and Nadja Gnamuš. The gallery also cooperates with students of the local grammar school.
Collection
Velenje Gallery's permanent collection comprises around 700 paintings, sculptures and works on paper (prints, drawings, photography) by Slovene artists of the 20th century, with a particular focus on the youngest artists, especially those from the Šaleška and Savinjska valleys.
