427 was founded in 2014 by artists Kaspars Groševs and Ieva Kraule-Kūna. Since then, its goal has been to delight Riga residents and visitors with a regular program of exhibitions and various events, focusing on less-visited artistic phenomena that blend interests in the fundamental media of art – painting, sculpture, installations and sound, uncovering signs, casting webs to capture new ideas and exchanging confabulations. Since 427 opened, more than 70 exhibitions have been organized, not counting temporary events, as the gallery transformed into a strip club, tattoo parlor, CBD shop, dance club, video salon, kindergarten, etc. In 2021, the creators of the gallery published the “427 Years Book”, which summarizes the adventures of the gallery’s first seven years of existence.
