Let’s Do It! World and Haus Gallery opened an exhibition and an international auction today, where 35 well-known Estonian painters contributed their works to raise money for a world-wide clean-up day in 2018.

“Let’s Do It” is a global civic initiative that originated in Estonia. The now global action was first held on 3 May 2008, with a garbage removal bee in Estonia. Today, more than 16 million people have taken to cleaning their hometowns and “Let’s Do It” has become rooted in 113 countries. 

On the 100th anniversary of the Republic of Estonia, “Let’s Do It” is organising a global cleanup action – on 8 September 2018, millions of people in 150 countries will clean up garbage within the framework of the World Cleanup Day. This is a gift from small Estonia to the rest of the world. “Let’s Do It” does not fight against anyone or anything, but instead unites and cleans through good will, actions and cooperation. By doing so, the environment and all of our hearts and minds become purer.

Through the ages, art has served as a mirror for social processes. Just as a perfect and pure world and nature, as the symbol of this ideal, have always been an integral part of art. At the exhibition/auction “Puhastatud Maailm. Purified World”, organized to support the cleanup action, Estonian artists will be displaying their works as positions that make this ideal world more visible, conjure up fantasies and realities, dreams and reality. Through these works of art that today, in an era that is so thoroughly polluted, carry in themselves the ideas of the pure world, we will be able to address the ever-so important issue of environmental conservation with improved clarity and greater emotion.

Exhibition is opened: from September 8 to October 8 at Haus Gallery (Uus 17, Tallinn) and at the State Forest Management Centre (Toompuiestee 24, Tallinn), Mon–Fri: 10–18; Sat: 11–16
