Finnish Cultural Institute
in New York

The Finnish Cultural Institute in New York aims to promote Finnish visual arts, design and architecture in North America. In all its activity, the goal is to help create long term collaborative relationships between Finnish and North-American professionals in the field of visual arts.

The Institute has three principal areas of operation: It runs an artist-in-residency program in Manhattan; it produces, curates and presents large scale touring exhibitions in collaboration with local galleries and museums in North America; and it develops active collaboration networks with North American educational institutions and organizations within the field of visual arts.

The Institute was founded in 1990 by three Finnish artists’ associations: STS (The Artists’ Association of Finland), SAFA (Finnish Association of Architects) and ORNAMO (The Finnish Association of Designers).
