Guide for visual artists
We provide visual artists with practical information, guidance and support on working as an artist and professional development. The Making a living as a visual artist website contains information about various topics, such as social security, taxation, contracts, organising work and selling artworks.
Advocacy
Artists' Association of Finland promotes the status and working conditions of visual artists and strengthens the role of visual arts in society. We take actively part in the cultural policy decision-making.
Finland is home to roughly 3300 professional visual artists, 116 art galleries and 67 art museums, and each year it hosts about 40 visual arts events.
