Current news about exhibitions

The next open call for Annantalo's gallery is next year 

Every year, Annantalo seeks exhibition proposals for the galleries on the second floor. The exhibition periods usually last about 4 months and typically take place between the end of the year and the spring. 

The exhibition or work can be representative of any art form. Both individual artists and work groups can apply, either with a finished work or a work in progress, or with a set of works. It is also possible to compile a group exhibition of the proposals. 

The next application period is next spring. The exact date will be announced on Annantalo's website. 

You can read more about the previous call for applications here.

Exhibitions at Annantalo

Exhibitions are carried out in cooperation with various artists, organisations and schools. The exhibitions have an artistic educational purpose and are related to the world of children or young people – the exhibitions or works do not have to be made specifically for children. 

The main target groups of Annantalo's exhibitions are early childhood education (4–6 years old) and primary school (7–12 years old). In addition, we offer exhibition experiences for young people. The exhibition content may be aimed at a specific target group, but it is worth noting that exhibitions may be visited by people of all ages. 

The themes arising from an exhibition are often discussed as part of Annantalo's arts education and teaching. In connection with the exhibitions, Annantalo organises open programmes, workshops, guided tours and events. Annantalo's exhibitions showcase the art of both professional artists and children and young people.

Exhibitions curated by children and young people

At Annantalo, children and young people have the opportunity to participate in the selection of exhibition content. For this purpose, Annantalo has established a student jury intended to familiarise itself with various aspects of exhibition production, especially curating exhibition content. The jury is involved in the selection of gallery exhibitions, for example. 

The composition of the student jury varies from term to term. It includes students of Annantalo's evening groups enrolled in different art courses. The jury meets 1–2 times a year, usually at the end of the year. Participants are recruited to the jury annually.
