The joint gallery initiative by Tiketti and Pertin Valinta builds a bridge between outsiders and insiders in the art world. The gallery provides a space for both ready-made exhibition concepts and new collaborative projects.

The theme of the exhibitions is "Encounters" (Kohtaamisia). The gallery program features four exhibitions throughout the year:

Encounters 1: March 6 – April 4, 2026
Encounters 2: May 8 – May 29, 2026
Encounters 3: September 4 – October 3, 2026
Encounters 4: November 20 – December 19, 2026

The exhibitions are produced inclusively through an open call, and the public is also invited to suggest interesting encounters. The goal is to create multidisciplinary encounters between the visual arts, music, performing arts, and other forms of creative expression. The exhibitions are both curated and produced inclusively. All proceeds from the exhibitions are directed towards supporting the employment of outsider artists.

The aim of this collaboration is to promote equality and diversity within the creative sectors by highlighting marginalized creators and developing more inclusive operating models for the industry.

Tiketti x Pertin Valinta Gallery: May 8 – May 29, 2026

The joint exhibition by Valtteri Kleemola and Jani Leinonen provides a space for two innovative artists who draw inspiration from the stream of consciousness of pop culture, hijacking and deconstructing icons.

In the Encounters 2 exhibition, public figures and brands from both today and the past are given new forms and meanings. The artworks themselves create concrete encounters, as both artists will showcase pieces exploring the very same themes and subjects.

The exhibition open call for Pertin Valinta Gallery is open and the exhibitions will be chosen in autumn 2026. Exhibitions are curated and produced inclusively. The gallery program seeks multidisciplinary and inspiring exhibition ideas from outsider artists and working groups in Finland and internationally. You can send an open application to info@pertinvalinta.fi

Exhibition fees are: for art organizations €2,500, for artists and artist groups €1,500. We can grant a scholarship with special justification that covers the gallery's exhibition fee. The price includes gallery space rental, as well as support in exhibition production, curation, and communication.

Pertin Valinta develops a model of inclusive curation that enables outsider art creators equal participation and influence in the art field. Selections are made by an artistic working group that includes outsider art creators from different fields and artist mentors. In addition to the open call, exhibition programs are also curated by invitation.

There is a 30% commission on artwork sales. The gallery's revenue is used to employ special groups.

Exhibition production is carried out in collaboration with Tiketti.
