Gallerist and founder Siim Raie reflects on Artrovert Gallery’s journey through three locations and alongside a growing community of art lovers.
The third year is said to be the decisive one for art galleries – survive or perish. Today, exactly three years ago, we opened the doors of Artrovert Gallery in Nõmme, on Raudtee Street.
Since then, we have grown and evolved – relocating twice, launching an active exhibition program, and bringing contemporary art to an even wider audience. From a modest 50-square-meter space, we have expanded to 500 square meters. In 2024, the gallery welcomed 2,500 visitors, and today, our 24th exhibition is on display at the Ristiku Street location.
Over the past three years, we have helped 390 artworks find new homes, and today, Artrovert offers nearly 300 pieces from 90 contemporary Estonian artists.
We are thriving, inspired, and driven by art. A heartfelt thank you to all the artists and art enthusiasts for your trust – it is with your support that we can continue our mission.
Contemporary Art for Contemporary People!
