Škuc Gallery
About

Škuc Gallery, located in Ljubljana’s historic centre, is a cornerstone of Slovenia’s contemporary and alternative art scene. Established in 1978, it operates under the ŠKUC Cultural Centre, a key non-governmental cultural institution. The gallery is known for its progressive exhibitions that explore social issues, identity, and experimental practices, often featuring both emerging and internationally recognised artists. With roots in the avant-garde movements of the 1980s, Škuc has long been a platform for interdisciplinary and subcultural expression. Today, it continues to foster critical dialogue through visual art, publishing, and events, maintaining its reputation as a vibrant space for artistic innovation.
