Exhibition #61 – TypoCraftHelsinki’19
The theme of this years TypoCraftHelsinki is “Kauno”, or “Joint Writing”. We have invited graphic artists, designers, craftspeople and artists to design artworks or products that take Kauno as their starting point. We want to see ideas which combine the theme – freely interpreted – and typography in a new way with the material and form, and in which typography expands from two dimensions to at least three.

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.
AT FIRST BLUSH | Lokal Gallery
29.5.–15.8.2026
This summer, Lokal spreads its budding branches across a few different addresses. Following by the group exhibition A Prima Vista at 3daysofdesign in Copenhagen, a homecoming exhibition, At First Blush, takes place in the Billnäs ironworks village at the peak of summer. Preceding it, we have a glimpse of it all at Lokal Gallery in Helsinki.
Exhibition #107 – Domus Primavera
21.2.–24.5.2026
All objects have an energy or spirit – and this of course implies objects of use, just as much as it is an inherent aspect of artwork. Art is a way of inhabiting existence, it is a state of being in its own right. Our homes can reflect something of that state; they are places that nourish us in the most instinctive of ways. Lokal’s spring exhibition spans over the entire transition of the seasons, bookmarked by a metamorphosis around the Spring Equinox.
Exhibition #106 – Matcha
7.1.–15.2.2026
The front space of Lokal Gallery will temporarily take the form of a teahouse, where, alongside Rutsuko Sakata’s and Kari Virtanen’s tearoom installation, meditative works by artists and makers from Fiskars will be on display.
