Lobby Gallery

The light foyer has bright red sofas. Large photographs hang on the walls. There is also a large green plant.

The Lobby Gallery (Aulagalleria in Finnish), 36,5 m2, on the third floor of the Culture House Laikku is a low-threshold, self-service exhibition space for art enthusiasts, study groups, associations and other third sector actors. Not intended for professional artists.

The Lobby Gallery is a free space for all groups of people, so the works on display must comply with the principles of safer space. 

Exhibition calendar

Exhibition times are in high demand

Exhibition times are 2 weeks for individuals and 2-3 weeks for associations. You can propose an exhibition in the Lobby Gallery all year round. The Lobby Gallery are for amateur artists. We do not charge an exhibition fee for the lobby gallery.

The Lobby Gallery is booked until the end of 2026. We are not accepting new exhibition applications for the lobby gallery at this time.

Kahvila Laikku café

In addition to the Lobby Gallery, applicants may include in their application a request to hold a small-scale exhibition at Kahvila Laikku café. The café is not continuously used for exhibitions, so any request for a café exhibition must be mentioned in the application. The conditions are the same as for the Lobby Gallery.

The longer wall opposite the café window wall is 322 cm wide (hanging height 137 cm).  This means that only works that can be hung on the walls are possible. It is not advisable to bring very small works to the space, as the exhibition is viewed from the tables in the space and from behind them.

Instructions for exhibitors

Exhibitors must make all practical arrangements themselves. Please read the instructions carefully before applying.
