On May 9, 2026, the same day the Venice Art Biennale opens its doors, so will the new MIGA gallery building. For its first exhibition, Sandra Jõgeva will present her audience with a critical and sharp look behind the scenes of the art world, into its invisible hierarchies and power relations. This is an exhibition that directly asks what the artist’s role is within a system where the rules are dictated by institutions and officials. Read more

Micro-Venice: Kalli Kalde "Signal"
This summer, the first open-air exhibition “Signal” will debut in the Micro-Venice outdoor area, curated by Kalli Kalde. Celebrating the 75th anniversary of Tartu Art School, the exhibition brings together alumni from multiple generations who have shaped Estonian visual culture in their own time and in their own ways. The artworks are created on an unconventional yet striking surface, old satellite dishes. Once receivers of messages from orbit, these dishes are transformed into vessels carrying the artists’ personal and collective meanings, sending a new signal from Micro-Venice out into the wider world.

august - october 2026
On August 5, 2026, Japanese artist Narihiro Matsumoto (b. 1984, Kyoto) presents his exhibition “40-42.” Estonian audiences first encountered Matsumoto through his solo exhibition at HAKI Gallery, followed by a residency at Voronja Gallery, an experience that seeded his new series. The memory of winter silence, frozen at twenty degrees below zero and suspended in near-stillness, left a profound impression on the artist. Though these works were created in Japan, they carry the essence of the Peipsi region, a fragile equilibrium between silence and tension, subtlety and force. Read more
november 2026 - january 2027
The 2026 art program will be brought to a distinguished close by Tõnis Kriisa’s personal and meditative exhibition “Inner Peace.” Presenting a sculpture show on a 36 m² surface, which also serves as our everyday living space, is a challenge in itself. Equally remarkable, however, is the experience of inhabiting a space enveloped in Kriisa’s presence, where the art acts as both a decelerator of time and a keeper of inner calm. Read more
PAST EXHIBITIONS
september 2025
At the heart of the exhibition is the idea that all bodies—those of the past, present, and future—are inseparably connected in the river of life, flowing through generations and species. Silja Truus' works made from sugar embody the transience and transformation of life, because, like sugar, all bodies change and disappear, ultimately becoming someone or something else. Read more

There remains a suspicion that, along with previous generations, many important skills, fascinating stories and secret knowledge have been lost. The debris in the abandoned garage units reflects decades of people’s lives and their many quests. "The Happiness Machine" is set up in the old garage that will become the gallery. It seeks to analyze, reconstruct, and extravagantly mystify one such forgotten garage and the material it contains. Read more

Taavi Tulev is a soundscape designer who has brought his drafting skills into his hobby, creating works that artist Kiwa has described as geometric psychedelia. The curves and lines in his paintings form a kind of mandala, which can take the viewer on a journey to distant galaxies or pave the way into their inner cosmos. Read more

“Cyber Creation,” which premiered at "Tartu Uus Teater," was the debut exhibition of the Tartu-based digital artist Estookin. It featured retro-futuristic digital paintings inspired by the atmosphere of the 1960s–80s, rendered through a cyberpunk lens. A year later, the exhibition was shown in Tiit Silla’s microhouse in Micro-Venice, where the works could be viewed through a large window. Read more

In architect Tiit Silla’s first microhouse in Micro-Venice, Voronja's XXI apartment exhibition unfolded, featuring a two-image presentation by physicist-photographer Jaak Kikas. The show served as a dialogue with a previous single-image exhibition organized by Jaak, which had itself emerged from his decision to give Kristina Viin’s work—left out of Tartu’s year-end art exhibition—a space to be seen.
