A bit of a new 'thing' for Tallinn, and the brainchild of an expat from the UK (who also has a similar concept gallery in Scotland), the Staapli 3 Art Gallery and Art Café - is just that, yet so much more. Forget the snobby, 'high-brow' mentality of most 'fine art' institutions where the staff need to explain the artist's motives, using metaphors that belong in a psychology text book. This is a commercial gallery, they offer works of art which appeal to every taste and budget, and the art speaks for itself. They also do custom framing, offer advice on where best to hang a piece, pour a decent cup of coffee or tea, offer a lovely selection of cakes and pastries - which can be enjoyed, while surrounded by inspiring works of art. They want to fill your life with colour, and expose visitors to the power of art, whether for merely an hour or a lifetime. There truly is something for everyone, and both local as well as international artists are represented on the 'happy' walls here.
