Venue
The gallery is situated in a renovated defence tower and three houses that are all connected forming the old city wall. The Kolar's house, the Gothic house and since February 2012 the memorial room of Riko Debenjak was opened in Fišč' house where many Riko Debenjak's artworks and personal belongings and archives are on display. The exhibition space is therefore very branched and consists of three floors measuring approximately 80 m² each.
Programme
During the summer the permanent collection of Riko Debenjak's prints is on display while during the year the gallery hosts about fourteen exhibitions per year, including an exhibition of the Northern Primorska Fine Artists Association, exhibition of art section of the University of the Third Age UNITRI Nova Gorica, an exhibition of Kanal Ceramics Society and an exhibition by pupils of elementary school Kanal. Occasionally the exhibition catalogues and brochures are published by Kanal Ceramics Society.
The gallery space is also a venue for the Kogoj’s Days festival and during the Kogoj’s Days 2012 Riko Debenjak's oil paintings will be exhibited. Annually the gallery hosts a photographic exhibition on mountaineering as well. In March 2010 there was the 15th one by Friulian climbers, Nives Meroi and Roman Benet who also presented a film.
Exhibitions
Artworks by several well-established artists have been on display in the Riko Debenjak Gallery, for example Franc Golob' retrospective exhibition of watercolour paintings in 1996, Stane Klemenc's retrospective of photography in 1997, Franc Novinc's and Rudi Kogej's paintings in 1998.
