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.

Lokal’s curator Katja and interior architect Hanni were commissioned by Ulla-Maari Koivula in the spring of this year to conjure up even more harmony, beauty and art in the Usva house in Kontiolahti.
2.–20.7.2025, Lokal
In this iteration of Correspondences at Lokal, the artists engage with nature through the work of their hands, allowing different experiences of time and place to overlap and intertwine within a shared space. As they quietly respond to one another—through gazes, gestures, and unspoken dialogue—the exhibition becomes a momentary commune, where enduring relationships from distant places gather briefly and tenderly.
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.
Lokal x Almost All the Flowers in My Mother’s Garden marks the return of a collaboration between Lokal Gallery and Institut Finlandais. Discover a new selection of handmade art and design pieces curated in dialogue with Hilla Kurki’s photography exhibition at Institut finlandais 12.4.–2.8.2025.
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.
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.
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.
