About the gallery
The gallery was created as a space where art and community come together. A place to experience creativity in an open, inclusive, and down-to-earth way. Our mission is to support emerging artists and those taking their first steps into the art world by offering them visibility, guidance, and a platform to share their work. We believe that art should be approachable and present in everyday life, not confined to exclusive spaces or unreachable prices. Through exhibitions, cultural events, and collaborations, the gallery aims to foster genuine encounters between artists and audiences, making art a shared experience that inspires connection, curiosity, and belonging.

Meet the Team
I am a visual artist from Colombia and I love being part of this project because this is exactly what I would’ve love to have when I started as an artist or as an immigrant starting fresh on a new place.
As the curator and gallery director, my vision is to create art experiences that are engaging and accessible to everyone. I aim to design exhibitions that spark curiosity and emotional connection rather than formality or exclusivity. Each project is an opportunity to support emerging artists, while encouraging the public to experience art in a casual and welcoming way. Through this approach, I hope to make art a natural part of everyday life and to build spaces where creativity and community meet.
MAJU HENAO
Gallery Director
I am the entrepreneur behind Fashion PWR, a sustainable fashion brand that also serves as the home of our art gallery. My passion for culture, art, and creativity inspired the idea of transforming part of my shop into a space where local and emerging artists could share their work. What began as a small concept soon grew into a vibrant platform that connects fashion, art, and community.
With a background rooted in creative entrepreneurship, I am driven by a desire to challenge conventions and think beyond traditional boundaries. My goal is to make art and design more accessible in everyday life—creating a space that feels fresh, inspiring, and inclusive. I believe that when creativity is shared openly, it strengthens both individuals and the community around them.

Our Story
It all started in 2021 when we did’t have a space, or a plan really, but we knew we wanted to do something to share art in a more casual way without it being intimidating or unaffordable which remains to be one of our goals until today.
We got ourselves a tent, set it up in Trädgårdstorget and started contacting people to let us showcase their art or craft in our tent. We would stay there all day trying to get people’s attention and fighting against the wind trying to take our tent away.
For all our effort we even got a page in the local paper Corren.
Joana built her business from the ground up, creating a beautiful shop in the heart of the city that has become the home of Hello There! Gallery. Within this space, Maju has curated and developed numerous exhibitions, transforming the shop into a meeting point for art, creativity, and community.
Together, Joana and Maju have shaped the gallery into more than just an exhibition space—it is a place where imagination and emotion converge. Here, they celebrate the work of talented artists while inviting visitors to explore unique worlds that resonate on a personal level. Every exhibition is an invitation to connect, reflect, and be immersed in an experience that belongs to everyone who walks through the door.
