Galleria Vaaga, the Free Art School’s corridor gallery, is freely available to students and operates without curatorial oversight. No commission is taken on artwork sales. For many students, the school’s in-house gallery provides their first opportunity to organize an exhibition — making it a valuable space for hands-on learning.
Students plan and install their exhibitions independently, gaining practical experience not only in mounting artworks, but also in exhibition communication, marketing, writing artwork descriptions, pricing, and organizing opening events — all before their final year.
