Founded in 1997 within the Slovene National Theatre (SNG) Nova Gorica building, Nova Gorica City Gallery has since developed into one of the most high-profile contemporary arts spaces in the Goriška region covering all types of contemporary visual art. Initially operating under the auspices Goriška Museum, it was transferred to the management of Nova Gorica Arts Centre in 2000. The exhibition space is circular in shape and it covers an area of 361 sq. metres.

Programme

Its exhibition programme includes all genres of contemporary art, presenting up to 10 exhibitions each year. The specific circular shape of the space represents a special creative challenge for artists, and enables a very personal experience of the artworks. Recently solo exhibition of Jernej Skrt, Ksenija Čerče, Olga Danelone, Rajko Bizjak and Gorazd Krnc were featured.
