OpenExhibition

This spring at work I received an interesting email. They were organizing a group exhibition Töissä täällä - Working here for the workers whose employer is Tornio City. Because I work at Tornio Community College my employer is Tornio City. I decided to participate and show First Kiss which none has ever seen "live" anywhere because it is part of the private collection. It has been shown only here in my blog 11 years ago!

Here is the list of artists and their pieces of art you can see in June 2025 at Tornio City library. I have updated this exhibition and one other that is upcoming in July 2025 on my OnTour page. If you are around, take yourself there to enjoy about local art that are seldom seen anywhere else, especially in the Finland capital and big city areas. Salla exhibition is up to upcoming Forest Sámi Summer Expo 2025. Anyone is welcomed to see around and learn about Forest Sámi.

PS. If you are visiting anywhere in Finland and want to see local art, go to the library. Libraries are usually free places for artists to show their art. Galleries and museums are far too expensive unless you have applied and received a public funding for your exhibition. And many don't because they are far too humble to do so even they are super talent. Just be silent, polite, and sneak around. Take pics only when none appears in your photos. It is allowed to photograph in public places but it is considered extremely rude to do so if there is a local person in your photo. Show respect for this and you can see a local person to smile. For my picture of this art exhibition wall I waited for about 5 minutes to get the wild child in photo to hide well enough so that it is called polite and compliment to take the photo and publish it. I could have cut off the child in the picture but I want to show you what is ok and what is not.
