Step into your local art gallery during Gallery Week Finland from 26 to 31 August – the full programme has now been published
This year’s programme includes over 100 art exhibitions and a wide selection of other free events in galleries across Finland.
The inaugural Gallery Week Finland takes place from August 26 to 31. The diverse programme consists of art exhibitions and other events open to all in galleries across the country.
This year, 73 galleries from 24 locations are participating in Gallery Week. The event will spread all the way from Äkäslompolo to Helsinki, and from Vaasa to Joensuu.
The programme includes over a hundred art exhibitions, as well as a wide range of events, including openings, workshops, performances, concerts, meet-the-artist sessions and guided tours. It also features a community run and an art picnic, to name a few.
Exhibitions and events at art galleries are open to everyone and are almost always free of charge, also during Gallery Week Finland. The week-long event is a great opportunity to get to know the galleries in your local area, for example by participating in the events they host.

Gallery Week Finland aims to spread the word about galleries operating in Finland that showcase diverse and high-quality art throughout the year, and to invite new visitors to the galleries.
The project is organised by the Artists’ Association MUU, the Association of Finnish Sculptors, the Association of Finnish Printmakers, the Finnish Painters’ Union and the Association of Photographic Artists. Gallery Week Finland is launched with support from the Arts Promotion Centre Finland.
