Gallery Aski is an independent art gallery established by the artists of Art House Turku, situated in the midst of an exceptionally diverse oasis of art and culture: Art House Turku. The gallery is operated by an association called Rettigin kuvataiteilijat ry. The name "Aski", which, when translated into English, is “pack”, alludes to the history of the old Rettig tobacco factory and also to the gallery's compact size. Situated on the ground floor of the Art House Turku, the gallery can be found at Nunnankatu 4 (with entrances from both the courtyard and Nunnankatu). In its first year of operation, the gallery focuses on presenting exhibitions and artworks by its members, artworks which have been created in the artists' studios. In addition to art exhibitions, the gallery offers intriguing, supplementary programmes: music performances, workshops, performances, and lectures.
