The Finnish Painters project has published twenty-one new artists on the Finnishpainters website: Petteri Cederberg, Henri Hagman, Jenni Hiltunen, Petri Hytönen, Helka Immonen, Markus Jäntti, Eemil Karila, Liisa Karintaus, Markus Konttinen, Tuomo Laakso, Heidi Lampenius, Niina Lehtonen-Braun, Iisa Maaranen, Mikko Paakkonen, Kimi Pakarinen, Heli Penttinen, Mirka Raito, Leonor Ruiz Dubrovin, Mika Vesalahti, Camilla Vuorenmaa, and Ville Välikangas.
The painters were curated from among the Finnish Painters’ Union members. The curation considered the diversity of artists and painting and the openness of the expanded field of painting. The Finnish Painters’ Union’s exhibition committee made the artist selections through an open call.
The Finnishpainters website is part of the Finnish Painters project and is an intermediary between Finnish painters and international actors. Its operation is non-commercial, and the service is free for all participants. The website was launched in October 2021, which launched the three-year pilot period of the Finnish Painters project. The project develops Finnish painters’ international activity and visibility, openness of access to activities, support services for artists, and new contacts and operating models between artists and the rest of the art field. The project cooperates with both Finnish and foreign actors in the field of visual arts. The Finnish Painters project and the finnishpainters website are realised with the assistance of the Saastamoinen Foundation, the Finnish Cultural Foundation, and the Ministry of Education and Culture.
The Finnish Painters’ Union is a national organisation of professional painters. It works to improve visual artists’ professional and social interests and promote visual arts’ visibility and appreciation. One of the goals of the Finnish Painters’ Union’s activities is the growth of international recognition and demand for Finnish contemporary visual art and painting.
