Valve’s art galleries will be Oulu2026 Galleries next year – applications are open

The exhibition calendars of these exhibition facilities are currently being planned, and free exhibition periods can be applied in the Oulu2026’s culture application until August 31. Cultural Centre Valve and the Oulu Culture Foundation process the applications together. Free exhibition periods can be seen primarily in the We are the Culture open call. Mention that you are interested in open exhibition periods in Valve’s galleries in your application. 

The rent of the Valve Gallery is 22,40 € per day. Valve’s Paljetti Restaurant and the Oskari Jauhiainen Gallery are free of charge. You can also apply for funding through the We are the Culture open call. The amount of the funding ranges primarily from 500–2000 €. Funding is granted based on the activity’s novelty, participation, communality, accessibility, and the European perspective. The applicant is responsible for the production and communications regarding their activity.
