An established contemporary art and design gallery showroom, OKAPI GALLERY, is located amidst the cobblestone streets and medieval charm of Tallinn's historic Old Town. Our core disciplines, and where our journey began, lie in the dynamic fields of glass and photography art. The gallery serves as an exhibition and sales space, proudly showcasing the latest works of local artists to a diverse audience. This deep connection between artists and their chosen mediums resonates meaningfully with visitors. Operating under the auspices of NGO OKAPI, a non-profit organization dedicated to igniting artistic expression and cultivating meaningful cultural dialogue, the gallery is evolving into a vibrant hub for contemporary art projects encompassing various media, including mixed media, installations, and more.

As part of its mission, NGO OKAPI undertakes impactful activities, including artist representation, the meticulous organization of exhibitions, active participation in prominent art fairs, and the initiation of engaging public art projects, all aimed at enhancing both the local and international art scenes and fostering active engagement and a vibrant exchange of ideas with a broad audience. This commitment reflects OKAPI's ongoing dedication to supporting diverse artistic practices and continually engaging a wide-ranging audience in the evolving landscape of contemporary art.

In 2022, NGO OKAPI further expanded its reach by launching the prestigious OKAPI Art Residency program. This residency offers international artists the invaluable opportunity to immerse themselves in Estonia's inspiring environments, from the tranquil, light-drenched landscapes of Saaremaa to the dynamic creative energy surrounding Tallinn, where participants can develop their projects in well-equipped photo-video and glass studios, culminating in a highly anticipated final exhibition at OKAPI GALLERY, providing a significant platform for their newly developed work.

Located at Niguliste 2, OKAPI GALLERY is easily accessible and welcomes a wide spectrum of visitors—from seasoned art connoisseurs to curious casual enthusiasts. Its consistent involvement in both local and international events positions the gallery as a vital cultural conduit, not only facilitating professional connections but also enriching the local and international art scenes through active engagement and fostering a vibrant exchange of ideas with a diverse audience.
