History and location
In the first years of operation the Equrna Gallery, named after the Celtic goddess of the Ljubljanica River and the Ljubljana swampland (barje), prepared guest exhibitions in various venues such as the atrium of Ljubljana's town hall, City Gallery, Ljubljana and in Hotel Slon. Since November 1984 it has had its own exhibition spaces in a renovated courtyard building at Gregorčičeva 3 in the centre of the city that was built in the early 18th century as stables for Napoleon’s army. The gallery space occupies a total area of 300 square metres, separated into two areas, both with arches and four-metre-high ceilings.
Programme and artists
The gallery offers monthly exhibitions mostly in the format of solo exhibitions, occasionally also group shows. Equrna presents the newest art works by mid-generation artists who defined Slovene art during the 1980s along with some output of younger artists. Altogether the Gallery represents more than 50 artists.
From the pinnacle of creativity in Slovenia’s post-modern art scene after 1980 Equrna represents: Emerik Bernard, Metka Krašovec, Gustav Gnamuš, Tugo Sušnik, Živko Marušič, Jože Slak, Sergej Kapus, Žarko Vrezec, Irwin, V.S.S.D., Dušan Kirbiš, Andraž Šalamun, Bojan Gorenc, and Sandi Červek. Some younger artists are also presented, including Aleksij Kobal, Zdenka Žido, Eva Heimer, Andrej Brumen Čop, Robert Ložar, Zvonka Simčič, Mojca Oblak Crowther, Irena Romih, Marko Jakše, and Petra Varl. Representatives of the youngest generation include Ksenija Čerče, Mitja Ficko, Anja Jerčič, Polona Maher, Arjan Pregl, Natalija Šeruga, and Katja Sudec.

For the last 20 years the gallery has co-operated with the corporate sector, selling works to the Factor Bank Art Collection, Moravske toplice, Zdravilišča Krka spas and to individuals for private interiors.
