Photographic Centre Peri’s Open Call for Exhibitions 2027


Anastasia Korpelainen

We are now seeking exhibition proposals for 2027. The open call is aimed at artists, collectives, and curators working professionally in the fields of photography and lens-based contemporary art. We particularly wish to highlight the work of underrepresented artists and bring attention to phenomena and topics that have received little or no attention within the Finnish art field.

We are committed to working towards equal and sustainable opportunities for artists to exhibit their work and engage with audiences. Peri does not charge a gallery rental fee, and we pay an exhibition fee to every exhibitor. Artists are part of our working community during installation and deinstallation, and we provide production support as well as a safe and encouraging working environment.

Four exhibition periods are available, with 1–2 exhibitions selected for each period. The number of exhibitions is limited so that, with our current resources, we can pay every artist an appropriate exhibition fee. Each exhibition period lasts approximately seven weeks, and the first exhibition will open to the public on May 7, 2027.



The exhibitions for 2027 will be selected by an invited jury:

Maria Huokkola, exhibition curator;
Emma Sarpaniemi, photographic artist;
Hanna Weselius, senior lecturer in photographic art and author 



There are four exhibition periods for which applications can be submitted, and 1–2 exhibitions are selected for each of them.


Applications are made via an online form.
