Exhibition #45 – Avata
30.6.–2.9.2017
Interior architect and awarded artist Hanni Koroma is celebrating her 20 year artist jubilee year. To honour this, Lokal has invited Koroma to compile their summer exhibition. The theme of the totality, put together by Koroma, is the act of opening; in honour of the anniversary, it is time to yet again open new doors, as well as eyes and thoughts. The exhibition works are are united by ‘opening’ in many aspects.

AT FIRST BLUSH | Billnäs Satellite
28.6.–23.8.2026
Lokal’s Summer Satellite in Billnäs
At First Blush is a celebration of the feeling that wells up in one’s being at the sight of a new love, with the awakening of a new season, or as an artist discovers a new expression. The theme of the exhibition is the blossoming of new life in late spring and early summer – that annual miracle.
Exhibition #109 – Paula Pääkkönen: Karamelli
21.8.–19.9.2026
Karamelli is a journey into a world of sweetness and imagination, where glass sparkles in delicious colors and broken glass is temptingly reminiscent of sugar. On the border between beauty and danger, the familiar and the strange, every gate opens a door to a new world.
