In the center of Helsinki, on the Pohjoisranta embankment, the Fogga Gallery, focused on contemporary fine art, opened in 2011. It mainly features artists from Finland, other Scandinavian countries, as well as Russia. The main feature of this exhibition center is its accessibility – hall rental is relatively inexpensive, so every artist, even one of modest means, has the opportunity to make a name for themselves with an exhibition of works.
Fogga Gallery is a very popular place for temporary exhibitions, as well as a marketplace where art lovers can buy paintings they like, and not very expensively.
But the main "highlight" of the services provided by the gallery is art leasing. You can "rent" a painting you like for just 50 euros a month, hang it in your home and admire it until you get tired of it, and then return it or buy it, with the amount already paid deducted. Although not all works cost 50 euros a month – the price varies depending on the painting, and sometimes the monthly payment can reach 500 euros.
Fogga Gallery is extremely attractive, both for painters and for art connoisseurs.
