The Helsinki Artists’ Association Art Lending office celebrates its 30th anniversary this year! Located next to the Rikhardinkatu Library in the heart of the city, the office has established its status as an accessible and trusted haven for acquiring art, and it is the largest operator in the vast network of Finnish art lending offices.
The encompassing theme for the anniversary is Light. This is embodied in diverse ways in three exhibitions with different themes throughout the year. On Saturday, 8 February 2025 at 12–4pm, we will have a birthday party for our dear 30-year-old office and open the anniversary exhibition entitled Brilliant! With the anniversary exhibition, we want to highlight the brilliant concept of art lending with the spectacular work of our skilled member artists. The anniversary exhibition will be displayed between 8 February–30 March 2025. In addition the the opening of the exhibition, the party will include a performance by Leila Halkeama, baroque dance, coffee and cake, as well as a gift card lottery.
The programme of 2025 will include, for example, opening an anniversary salon at our showroom in the classy jugend hotel GLO Hotel Art at Lönnrotinkatu, updating the selection of our mini Art Lending office at the Association’s HAA Gallery in Suomenlinna, revealing our renewed gift cards and merchandise as well as organising discussion sessions of varying themes with our member artists. The events will be announced in our newsletters and social media channels on Instagram and Facebook. So start following us now!
