Velenje Gallery is the oldest and most important fine arts institution in the Šaleška Valley. From 1976 until 2005 it 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.

Velenje Gallery is an autonomous municipal institution that focuses on exhibition and research programme. The permanent collection comprises around 700 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. Since 1978 the Gallery's permanent collection of modern Slovene art (the Gorenje Collection) and paintings a well-known local painter Lojze Perko have been exhibited at Velenje Castle as part of the collections of Velenje Museum. The Gallery organises the annual Velenje Artists' Colony:
