Spring Exhibition 2026 Returns in an Expanded Format<\/strong>
The annual Spring Exhibition is a traditional overview of Estonian contemporary<\/strong>
art, presenting a fresh and diverse cross-section of artists from different<\/strong>
generations and creative fields.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s annual exhibition of the Estonian Artists\u2019 Association, Spring Exhibition
2026, is more extensive than in previous years and will take place simultaneously
across several venues. The public is invited to the opening evening on 13 March.
Exhibition openings will take place consecutively at different locations: at 5 pm at HOP
Gallery, Hobusepea Gallery and Draakon Gallery; at 6 pm at Vabaduse Gallery; and at
7 pm at the Lasnam\u00e4e Pavilion. The exhibition will be accompanied by a public
programme. Further details will be announced soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A total of 437 artists submitted works to the exhibition, from which the jury selected
pieces by 154 artists and collectives. Tallinn Art Hall and the Estonian Artists\u2019
Association invite the public to visit the Spring Exhibition at the Lasnam\u00e4e Pavilion and
in the Old Town galleries of the Estonian Artists\u2019 Association: Draakon Gallery,
Hobusepea Gallery, HOP Gallery and Vabaduse Gallery. Works displayed in the
exhibition will be reproduced as postcards, allowing visitors to assemble their own
personal Spring Exhibition catalogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As in previous years, visitors will once again have the opportunity to vote for their
favourite artist. The winner of the public vote will receive a \u20ac6,000 prize, funded by art
collectors and supporters Riivo Anton, Aivar Berzin, Jaan Manitski, Tiit Pruuli and Rain
Tamm. Among all voters, a \u20ac500 gift card for the NOBA.ac art platform will be raffled.
Voting takes place at the Lasnam\u00e4e Pavilion and in all galleries of the Estonian Artists\u2019
Association and remains open until 5 April. Art enthusiasts will also be able to purchase
works from the Spring Exhibition at the exhibition venues. A selection of works will
additionally be available for sale on the NOBA.ac<\/a> platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
