The Celje Gallery of Contemporary Art might be understood as the motor of the Celeia Institute - Centre for Contemporary Arts. Although in the terms of the programme and orientation all Celeia Institute galleries and exhibition spaces are specialized, the programme of them is as a rule connected with each other, i.e. projects of huge dimensions are presented on the combined locations.

The Gallery uses systematic approach to the topics and phenomenon of the group shows, inviting foreign artists as well - like in the show Prohibited death (2009), beside five Slovene artists of different generations was in the exhibition included Zuzanna Janin, Teresa Margolles, Eleonore Phillips, Kate Pollard, etc. Solo shows are usually dedicated to artist connected with the town (in 2009 Stane Jagodič, Marjan Krošl, Marijan Tršar); the multidisciplinary accession is here carried out as well.
Collection
Besides being an active exhibition hall for recent and current visual art production, the Celje Gallery of Contemporary Art aims through its programme to create a museum collection of contemporary Slovene visual arts. The permanent exhibition has gradually grown; at first it was contributed to by important Slovene artists, later on it has been regularly expanded with work by artists who either live in the Celje region, are natives of the city or are connected with it in some other way. The gallery currently possesses over 200 works that are presented to the public in thematic exhibitions.
