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. In 2015 the building was thoroughly renovated, and a new retrospective group exhibition of the 65 artists of the region takes place.
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.
The Velenje Gallery hosted the annual exhibition by the Slovene Fine Art Critics Association (DSLK) and the exhibition of the annual Velenje Artists' Colony for ALUO graduates. The gallery also cooperates with students of the local grammar school.
A new retrospective exhibition The Visual Arts of the Šaleška Valley and Upper Sava Valley 1975–2015, curated by Milena Koren Božiček opened the fully renovated gallery premises in September 2015. It features selected works by 65 artists; for this occasion new works were acquired from local artists's personal collections.
Collection
Velenje Gallery's permanent collection comprises around 1000 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.
A collection of modern Slovene art (the Gorenje Collection) and paintings of well-known local painter Lojze Perko have been on display at Velenje Castle since 1978 as part of the collections of Velenje Museum.
