In addition to being among the 8 largest domestic appliance manufacturers in Europe, with over 50 years of tradition, the Velenje-based Gorenje company has been a patron of the arts for some decades, by sponsoring contemporary arts events and collecting works of art. The [[Gorenje Art Collection]] comprises 800 works by Slovene contemporary artists. A part of it was donated to the [[Municipality of Velenje]] and is managed by [[Velenje Gallery]]. A permanent exhibition of 65 artworks is on view at [[Velenje Museum]] in the [[Velenje Castle]]. 
}}
The representative selection offers a chronological insight into Slovene art of the 20th century starting with the Slovene Impressionists ([[Rihard Jakopič]], [[Matija Jama]], [[Matej Sternen]]). The collection includes some high quality works by [[Ivan Napotnik]], [[Veno Pilon]], [[Tone Kralj]], [[Božidar Jakac]], [[France Mihelič]], [[Gabrijel Stupica]], [[Elda Piščanec]], [[Jože Tisnikar]], [[Janez Bernik]], [[France Rotar]], and others.
