Gallery K, Tikkurila: Home of Art in Tikkurila

Galleria K, Tikkurila:
Home of Art in Tikkurila – a tour of public art  

February 29 – April 28, 2024 

Galleria K’s spring 2024 exhibition invites visitors to come and see Tikkurila's public art! 

The ”Taiteen koti Tikkurilassa - kierros julkiseen taiteeseen” (“Home of Art in Tikkurila - a tour of public art”) exhibition collects art situated near Galleria K that belongs in Vantaa Art Museum’s collections.  

Art4 group of artists—Jaana Brinck, Riikka Latva-Somppi, Merja Ranki, and Outi Turpeinen—created the home-theme art concept, spreading between Tikkurilantori and Kirjastonpuisto. The theme addresses seeking and finding one’s own place in the city and society, as well as Vantaa’s local history. The concept has its starting points in the 1950s, in its social values and emigration from the countryside to the cities, as well as immigration into Finland in the 2000s.  
  
In addition, the exhibition consists of two other public works of art, situated in the area: Laila Pullinen's as well as Helena Hietanen and Jaakko Niemelä's artworks.  

When you visit the exhibition, you can pick up a map that will help you find the exhibits by yourself and view them at your leisure. You can also familiarize yourself with Vantaa Art Museum's public art collection on the Finna service. 

The exhibition constitutes part of the City of Vantaa's 50th jubilee year program whose theme is At Home in Vantaa. 

The exhibition ceremonies will take place on February 28. 2024.
