About Galleria Monio

The gallery space measures 99.5 square metres. The exhibition space is equipped for wire suspension, and loose frames and sculpture stands are also available. Attaching works to the walls of the space is not permitted.

We do not charge rent for the exhibition space. 

Applying for exhibition time

The gallery hosts approximately three exhibitions per year, with open applications accepted once a year in April. At other times, the gallery is available for use by the building’s operators.

The call for applications is primarily open to artists from Tuusula or exhibitions whose works or creators are connected to Tuusula. 

Those selected may apply for exhibition time every other year. 

Please note that the information provided in the application is public upon request.   

The application form must be accompanied by the CVs of the artist or members of the artist group and a preliminary plan of the works to be exhibited in PDF format. The maximum size of the attachment is 50 megabytes.
