Pertin Valinta x Tiketti Gallery Launches in March! The joint gallery programme will include four exhibitions during the year. The Encounters exhibition series will be produced inclusively through collaboration between insider and outsider artists. The aim is to highlight unexpected encounters and multidisciplinary practitioners from different artistic fields.
Tiketti and Pertin Valinta began their collaboration in 2025 as part of Tiketti’s 50th anniversary year. The collaboration included joint event production at the creative industries professionals’ event Music x Media, as well as the OAF Outsider Art Festival produced by Pertin Valinta in Helsinki and Tokyo. In 2026, the collaboration will deepen further through the launch of joint gallery activities.
