KOHTA

Kohta is a privately initiated kunsthalle in Helsinki that presents uncompromising contemporary art in all its forms. Kohta’s curated public programme of exhibitions and events aims to consistently reflect the complexity and capacity of visual art today and its futures-oriented potential.

Kohta brings together contemporary artists from Finland and the rest of the world in curated solo and group exhibitions. Our mission is to feature artistic thinking in its many forms and showcase artists from different generations and media. In addition to the exhibition programme Kohta organises events, such as screenings and talks, with the aim to create fruitful dialogue around and about contemporary art and connect the dots between different art forms.

Kohta is located at Teurastamo, the old abattoir yard and Helsinki city wholesale market area in the Helsinki neighbourhood of Kalasatama. Kohta’s exhibition space is on the top floor of a 1980s industrial building.
