Programme and exhibitions
As a mid-scale gallery of 364 square metres it hosts various exhibition programme of visual arts (painting, sculpture and architecture) through new media to complex themed group exhibitions covering also general fields of culture. Its programme often corresponds to the events and festivals of the main Cankarjev dom programme like the Italian Egyptologist Francesco Tiradritti's curated exhibition Pharaonic Renaissance in spring 2008. As the central event of the Festival of Egyptian Culture it was accompanied by various programme as screenings of Egyptian film 1947–2006 for example.
In recent years the programme has been frequently focused on national overviews. In 2010 it presented the Armenia Close Up Festival and the CD Gallery featured the cultural and historic exhibition Armenian Tradition Between the Secular and the Sacred displaying artifacts of Armenian church art from 12th to 19th century. The exhibition was prepared in collaboration with the History Museum of Armenia and devised by its director Anelka Grigoryan.
Cankarjev dom Gallery gives floor also to thematic and historical exhibitions of Slovene art (e.g. The Nude in Slovene Arts). It prepares personal exhibitions by eminent artists (Hamilton, Murtić, ) as well as younger avant-garde artists (e.g. Maria Klonaris and Kateriene Thomadaki), but also solo presentations of Slovene artists such as La comédie humaine by Karel Zelenko in 2008 or the retrospective exhibition of illustrious Slovenian sculptor Dušan Tršar in winter 2009.
Cankarjev dom Gallery is often one of the key exhibition spaces where large exhibition projects take place in Ljubljana, e.g. Ljubljana International Biennial of Graphic Art, 100 Years of Photography, and the Manifesta 3 European Biennial of Contemporary Art held in Ljubljana. It is also a regular venue for the Biennial of Slovene Book Illustration.
