Lokal Bazar: Works on Paper

This December, something special is being organised at Annankatu 9. For three consecutive weekends we will host an event that we hope will spark your festive spirit and thoughtful gift-giving.

Lokal Bazar: Works on Paper brings together a curated selection of artists’ drawings, paintings and prints on paper. The event is both a market and an exhibition of accessible art, with all pieces priced under 500 euros. After all, the most enchanting stories this season could very well be found on paper.

The bazar features a pop-up bar by our friends at Sobar; the best non-alcoholic wines and Japanese teas in town.

Saturdays + Sundays
7.–22.12.2024

Opening Hours:

Saturdays: 11:00 – 18:00
Sundays: 12:00 – 16:00

SOMMARSTILLEBEN 2025

15.6.–24.8.2025
This summer, Lokal makes an all-summer-long expedition to Billnäs, an old ironworks village to the West of Helsinki. Bringing beauty in the form of artwork, crafts and handmade homeware into a space which still starkly echoes its unique history, the Sommarstilleben exhibition is a celebration of Lokal’s core values. The still lifes are an ode to the magical, fleeting nature of the Nordic summer. The abundance consists of works in various mediums and materials, in varying scale and subject, by a number of Finnish and Finland-based contemporary artists and artisans.

Institut finlandais: Almost All the Flowers in My Mother’s Garden

Bloom 2025 / Open Call

We are delighted to be having our eighth Bloom exhibition, Lokal’s biannual young artists’ exhibition. Bloom has become an established platform for young blossoming creatives to present their works in a curated group exhibition context.

Factory 2: Correspondences

28.11.–31.12.2024, Seoul
The works of five Korean and Finnish artists, who work by hand using different natural materials, correspond as if they are exchanging handwritten letters. It creates a temporary “commune” where diverse elements such as people and objects from here and there, light and colour of time and space converge and leave a lasting impression.
