Concept of Atelje Galerija
Atelje Galerija was created in 1998. It is premises in a picturesque building on Gallusovo
nabrežje in Ljubljana, in which two fields were initially presented: architecture or design and
fine art – painting, sculpture and photography. The aspiration of the architect, with experience
as a creator and spatial designer, was to supplement and enrich this not just with well-designed
functional objects but also with suitably placed art products.
In the past ten years, a number of exhibitions or installations of art and design works have taken
place, including within the context of major cultural events in the capital. In 2008, the studio for
architecture split off and Atelje Galerija has become a sales gallery, which is striving to establish
itself in the market of contemporary visual art and unique design and to disseminate such art and
design, and to inter-gallery cooperation and linkage in the Slovene and international environment.
Atelje Galerija helps create the cultural pulse in the attractive, historical part of the city core
of Ljubljana and links contemporary artists and designers in various fields of creativity. Its work
comprises a mosaic of the current creative scene of authors of visual art – painters, sculptors,
photographers and designers in metal, glass, leather, textiles and other natural and artificial
materials.
Atelje Galerija is also a virtual gallery, dedicated to presenting authors and informing the
interested public and, at the same time, its mission is also to help young original creators get
established.
