The Outdoor Gallery

The Velenje Gallery collection contains little under a thousand pieces which makes it one of the most significant art collections in Slovenia and in addition to paintings and sculptures of Slovenian modern and contemporary art it includes works of Academy of Fine Arts students (1992 - 2007), graphics, photography and drawings as well as an international painting collection.

Various exhibitions by young artists are exchanged monthly at the gallery.By this we give artists the opportunity to present themselves to a wider group of people,and we give visitors the opportunity to get acquainted with art outside of formal educational processes.By putting art in a place where young people spend their free time,we approach them and encourage them to creative thinking,creating.

In the new space, the local photographic scene is strengthened and promoted through exhibitions, lectures, round tables, screenings and other cultural events. The program of the exhibition is also aimed at presenting contemporary domestic and international creativity in the field of photography, intermedia arts, animated and experimental films and other audio-visual creativity practices.
