The events in Saara Reinikainen’s drawings are not realistic, yet when viewing the works they feel like authentic moments. The insightful and humorous content of the pieces originates from everyday surroundings and ordinary situations. Reinikainen seeks a certain kind of narrative or experience in

Viggo & Victor 16.5.–30.8.2026
At first glance, Viggo Wallensköld (b. 1969) and Victor Barsokevitsch (1863–1933) seem to have nothing in common. But upon closer inspection, one comes to a different conclusion. A strange, surprising similarity emerges. One that transcends the centuries. An Encounter That Transcends

Hulinat 17.12.2025 – 4.1.2026
Huh huh, mitkä Hulinat! GalleriA täyttyy joulun alla paikallisesta taiteesta ja tunnelma on basaarimainen. Tämä ei ole perinteinen näyttely vaan jotain aivan muuta: värikästä, elämänmakuista ja leikkisää. Hulinoista löytyy katseltavaa jokaiselle ja se on samalla läpileikkaus pohjoissavolaiseen
