We are now giving exhibition times for the year 2015.

Artists can apply for an exhibition time once a year with an free application. The deadline is March 1st every year. The board will inform the applicants about the result within a month. Forum Box does not return the applications by mail without an attached envelope with sufficient stamps. Applications can be fetched within a month after the board has made its decision. We do not keep the applications longer than one month.

The gallery space is divided into three different exhibition rooms: Permanto, Monttu and Parvi (click floor plan for more information). Individual artists or artist groups can apply for the exhibition time in two ways:

1. the entire gallery space (300 sq meters) for a solo or group exhibition, or,

2. a part of the gallery space (one of the three rooms) for a solo exhibition.
