Background
The space where the gallery stands used to be a (slightly larger) winter chapel of the church, and even in the decades before being turned into a gallery, sometimes served for various exhibitions. The gallery opened its doors as the Finžga Gallery in 1985, originally established by Trnovo priest Janez Pogačnik, who was on friendly terms with many artists and intellectuals in Ljubljana. With one of them, Taras Kermauner, they came up with the name Finžgar Gallery. The gallery is named after Fran Saleški Finžgar (1871–1962), a Slovene writer who served as a priest at the Trnovo parish from 1918 till his retirement.
For the roughly first two decades the programme was regular but also somewhat sporadic in organisation, and in the years after Pogačnik died, the gallery activities toned down. Between 2001 and 2006 the architect Gašper Demšar was the head of the gallery. For a time after that, it was led by Milica Kač, but the whol thing only got really started Autumn 2014, when it was taken over by the Finžgar Gallery Association.

Some of the artists exhibite here since its last opening are Veljko Toman, Jošt Snoj, David Ličen, Polona Kunaver Ličen, Matej Metlikovič and Mihaela Žakelj. They've been augmented by dispalys like the one on Slovene refugees after the WW2 in Carinthia, accompanied by a lecture. Yet another exhibiton cronicled the life of Janez Pogačnik,a remarkable figure in his own right.
There are also various workshops, film screenings, poetry recitals, music concerts – these are often also taking place in the church, with the music mostly being classical – and lectures on history and some evens of a neighbourhood community.
