Media Nox Gallery seeks to showcase the development of new artistic scenes. It presents work of various media, including painting, sculpture, installation, photography, and design, mostly through group exhibitions by young emerging artists, theme-related exhibitions, and exchange exhibitions (such as the Maribor/Graz exchange with Austria). It also serves as a venue for lectures, literary events, concerts, and screenings organised by MKC Maribor in cooperation with various cultural organisations.
In the previous years the programme has included an installation by Tacita Dean, sculpture by Franc Purg, jewellery by Lara Bohinc 107, photography by Luciano Kleva, and recent work by Belgrade cartoonists. Recently the gallery has focused on presenting emerging artists including the students of the Faculty of Education, University of Maribor and curated by Mario Berdič.

Grajfoner, D. Golija, etc.). The initiator's initial wish was to present as many talented young artists as possible from different backgrounds and also represent young Maribor artists.
In 1996, together with the Youth Cultural Center Maribor, the gallery had to move out of Orožnova Street, and by 2000 it had existed as an online gallery.
