Programme
Piran City Gallery, located on Tartini Square in Piran, as a rule combines its programme with other venues of the Coastal Galleries, it cooperates as well with other national and international institutions. In 2009 an exhibition of paintings, gouaches and drawings of the great Slovene painter Zoran Mušič (1909–2005), marking the centenary of his birth, was prepared in the cooperation with the collector Igor Lah, Cortini Gallery from Venice and the Museum of Modern Art.
The same year Piran City Gallery gave the podium to the presentation of works by Slovene authors from the Riko Art Collection, following its programme policy of presenting established Slovene artists.
In 2008 the gallery featured the exhibition The Artist and the Computer about Eduard Zajec, one of the world pioneers of computer arts, who has Slovene roots. The exhibition was curated by Vasja Nagy and Breda Škrjanec as a derivation of his retrospective prepared in the International Centre of Graphic Arts, Ljubljana.
History
The Coastal galleries of Piran were opened in 1976, two years after its foundation (1974). The leadership of the newly established public institute was taken over by Anton Biloslav, who managed the galleries until the end of 2012. The operation of the galleries was initially very ambitious. With good strategy and bold moves, a network of important contacts with well-known art critics abroad was established, and relations with various prestigious private galleries in Europe (in Cologne, Paris, Zurich) were soon strengthened. All this enabled the presentation of numerous internationally renowned artists in the Coastal Galleries and elsewhere in Slovenia.
In the 1980s, the Coastal Galleries, under the artistic direction of Andrej Medved, placed Slovene and coastal fine arts in the then current art events and linked it to international events. Numerous exhibitions were important for the national space and for the professional placement of contemporary Slovenian fine arts on the European and international map.
