Established in 1993, the Celje Gallery of Contemporary Art is situated on the outskirts of the old town centre and is part of the architectural complex of buildings that once formed the foothill castle of the Counts of Celje. Since 2005 it is managed by the Celeia Celje Institute - Centre for Contemporary Arts as its principal exhibition space. Annually the venue hosts up to 10 exhibitions addressing specific themes or offering a thorough monographic presentation of individual artistic positions. The exhibitions are usually prepared by the house curators although the Centre for Contemporary Arts also collaborates with foreign experts and offers a working platform for guest curators through its artist-in-residence programme AiR Celeia Celje.

Foremost a sales gallery for visual arts, DobraVaga is simultaneously also an exhibition space and an art studio. Set in Ljubljana's central marketplace and overlooking the Ljubljanica River (the entire complex was designed by the famed architect Jože Plečnik), DobraVaga opened its doors in 2016.

Run by the Kino Šiška Centre for Urban Culture, the space focuses on artists of the younger generation and deals in a variety of art forms – from paintings, illustration and graphic design to artist's multiples, artist's books and zines.
