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.

Biennial of Graphic Arts is the world's oldest existing biennial exhibition of contemporary graphic arts. Founded in 1955 on the idea and endeavours of Božidar Jakac and under the great engagement of Zoran Kržišnik, to date the biennial has hosted well over 5,000 artists from 80 countries. The mission of the Biennial of Graphic Arts is to offer a critical review and reflection of contemporary developments in reproductive techniques and to point out the main ideas permeating contemporary graphic art.
It is organised by the International Centre of Graphic Arts, Ljubljana, established in 1986 due to the biennial itself. The biennial is a member of the International Biennial Association (IBA).
