What is OKNO gallery?

External view of the OKNO gallery

OKNO (“window” in Polish) is a tiny one-window gallery overlooking the busy Shore area in Edinburgh, UK. It faces the bridge over the Water of Leith, and attracts attention of folks moving through this busy area.

Each month, Wojtek Kutyla, a visual artist working from the studio where the OKNO gallery is located, gives the space to one artist from outside Scotland who presents a single image and an invitation to see more online. The gallery exists to bring international talent to Scotland — and to build a connection between its hermetic photographic circles and the world. Just as the opening of a window brings a breath of fresh air, OKNO shows work that could be otherwise unrecognised in Scotland.

All work is presented free of charge (Wojtek handles printing at zero cost to the artist) and is available for purchase at the end of the display period. All money from the purchase goes to the author. If the work is not purchased or collected by the author, it is destroyed.

If you want to exhibit your work in the OKNO gallery, send an email to Wojtek.
