The Nova Gorica Arts Centre (Kulturni dom Nova Gorica) was opened as a regional Culture House in 1978. Since then it has become an important concert organiser and venue. The Nova Gorica Arts Centre runs the Nova Gorica City Gallery branch that is located within the Nova Gorica theatre building complex. It also organises a range of other programmes, including the Pixxelpoint International Festival of Computer Art and regular cinema screenings.

Music programme

Nova Gorica Arts Centre has welcomed many internationally acclaimed musicians and featured all leading Slovene musicians. Throughout the 1990s the events at Dobrovo Castle (first-class chamber and solo events) took place under the title the Hit's Muses, which in 2004 became known as the Goriška Muses.

Music from the Gardens of St. Francis is a series of concerts held in the beautiful surroundings of the Franciscan Monastery at Kostanjevica above Nova Gorica, designed primarily for young Slovene musicians.

Since 1996, in collaboration with the Nova Gorica Arts Centre, the Nova Gorica Music School organises the International Saxophone Meeting, summer school, plus an accompanying festival held in and around the city. Part of the Centre's activity is dedicated to the promotion of music education in primary and secondary schools (in cooperation with the Slovene branch of Jeunesses Musicales International).

Apart from these international festivals Nova Gorica Arts Centre also co-produces two cross-border music festivals with Italian partners (the Feel the Sound of the Places Festival and the Royal Court Music International Festival).
