Festival Velenje - Velenje Gallery

Located in the main town square in Velenje, the Velenje Gallery is a vivid contemporary arts institution in the heart of the Šaleška Valley. Since 1976 its exhibition programme has focused mostly on local and Slovene fine artists, including the graduate students of the Academy of Fine Arts and Design, whose production was annually presented at the Velenje Artists' Colony between 1990 and 2009.

The gallery was thoroughly renovated in 2015. As of 2016 the gallery is being run by the Festival Velenje Public Institute.

Nova Gorica Arts Centre

The Nova Gorica Arts Centre (Kulturni dom Nova Gorica) was opened as a regional cultural and community centre back in 1980. Besides being a prominent concert and film theatre venue, it is nowadays also the most important concert producer for classical and early music in Western Slovenia. Besides using its own two event halls, the Arts Centre often sets up concerts at other venues, most regularly at the Kromberk Castle and the Franciscan Monastery at Kostanjevica, a hill just above Nova Gorica.

Its visual arts branch, the Nova Gorica City Gallery, is located within the Nova Gorica theatre building complex. The Arts Centre organises a range of other programmes, including the Pixxelpoint International Festival of Computer Art, the October Jazz festival, the International Saxophone Meeting and the Flores Musicae Festival of mediaeval and renaissance music. All in all, the Nova Gorica Arts Centre organises more than 500 events with almost 65,000 visitors per year.
