Galleria Huuto

Welcome to the opening of the new Galleria Huuto!

The sixteen-years-to-be Galleria Huuto is happy and proud to invite friends of art to celebrate the new gallery spaces on Eerikinkatu and the “Huuto oot uuH” (Huuto you are wow) – exhibition starting at 5 pm on Thursday 30th of August. The opening will be kicked off by RISTO! The gig starts about 7 pm. Speaches and records will be played throughout the evening as well.

A similar group exhibition, “AAARGH! – 10 years later” was done last time when Huuto turned 10 years and the new spaces in Jätkäsaari were opened. So abiding by the tradition the new gallery spaces and the opening exhibition is a collaborative exertion by nearly 50 artist members and an endless amount of volunteer work. The exhibition is open to the public during 31.8.-23.9.2018.

The surprising termination of the rental agreements to the operators at the L3-warehouse in Jätkäsaari at the beginning of the year 2018 and the quick move-out at the beginning of the summer started a hectic emergency meeting round and a lookout for a new gallery space. Luckily due to active searching and with the help of Helsinki City, at last the best option was found between Eerikinkatu and Kalevankatu, in the old premises of the Metropolia University of Applied Sciences machinery laboratory. From the beginning of August, the new home of Huuto has been planned, built and thoroughly cleaned jointly. Due to the know-how of a diverse commune of artists and to the great team spirit, a world-class exhibition space can be done even in a month’s time!

At the door step of something new, Galleria Huuto wants to thank all those who have sympathized during the turmoil, those who have given support, and those parties that have looked out for solutions. Galleria Huuto wishes to continue diverse, alternative and artist-based exhibition practices according to its working principles many years ahead.

The gallery is situated in Eerikinkatu 36 / Kalevankatu 43, 00180 Helsinki
