BLACK OLIVES GALLERY / TOHMAJÄRVI, FINLAND /
Welcome to the Black Olives Gallery, located on a private family farm in Tohmajärvi, Northern Karelia in Finland.
Art has the power to bring people together – to offer a glimpse of lives beyond ours. We offer a free space for artists to host summertime pop-up exhibitions of their work.

How to visit the gallery?
We are located on a private family farm and operate on a pop-up basis. That means that we are only open during pre-determined and advertised times in the summers. All opening dates and times are shared on this website and are up-to-date. You are warmly welcomed during these times.
Are you an artist, collector, or curator hoping to view the space outside of active exhibitions? Reach out to make an appointment for a visit.
