Especially special thanks goes to all of the participating artist, to Korjaamo Galleria, all of the volunteer performers for Nastja Rönkkö's piece: Mikko Jäppinen, Jarkko Kaurismäki, Panu Kivi, Ville Mattila, and Ossi Paananen as well as to the dancers from the closing performance: Elsa and Malwiina Heikkilä!
A special thanks also goes out to Ulla Ourila of the Drama Gallery for cooperation in renting the space for Äkkigalleria 6. (and note the beautiful high ceiling-ed, clean space is now available for long term rental)
Without forgetting to thank Äkkigalleria's Assistant Director, Juho Jäppinen,and his full time employer Jussi Jäppinen Ky, who allowed flexible work hours and several days of partial-leave during the preparation and closing of Äkkigalleria 6.
