In summer 2009 the Croatian artist Vlasta Delimar and her partner Milan Božić re-enacted the happening Tactile communication (for Jerman) [Taktilna komunikacija (za Jermana)] from 1981. Solo exhibitions featured in 2010 included Ana Čigon, the winner of the 2009 OHO Group Award, the performance Une façon d'aimer [Poti ljubezni] by Maja Delak and Luka Prinčič, and paintings of Boštjan Plesničar.
In 2018 first edition of a humorous and critical, seductive and provocative two-day Duckling Festival was set, focusing on the relationship between art and sexuality. Its title was : "Production of Desire and Pleasure". Račka Gallery was one of the venues of Celje FOKUS Festival in its 2019 edition dedicated to everyday banallity which addresses issues of photography and visual culture in relation to the ordinary, the everyday, the famous, the boring and the bizarre.
