Yön Talvisalonki – Group Exhibition

In December 2024, Yön Talvisalonki brought together a wide selection of contemporary artworks at Yö Galleria in central Helsinki. Organized by Taiteilijayhdistys Yö ry, the six-day exhibition featured a bold, salon-style display of small-format works—including paintings, prints, photographs, and sculptures—available for takeaway purchase.

The event showcased works by both emerging and established members of the association, offering a vivid cross-section of current directions in contemporary art.
Dates: 17–22 December 2024
Location: Yö Galleria, Lönnrotinkatu, Helsinki
