ESPOON ARTISTS’ GUILD

Espoon Artists’ Guild is an association of professional artists from Espoo founded in 2009. The Espoo Artists’ Guild has 54 members.

During its activities, the association has organized annual art exhibitions in Espoo and around Finland, including at the Imatra Art Museum in 2025. This year, the guild will present itself with a summer exhibition at the Antares Art Center and the Helsinki Artists’ Association’s HAA Gallery in Suomenlinna.

The purpose of the association is to promote and monitor the professional, economic and social interests of Espoo visual artists and to strengthen the status and importance of visual arts in Espoo. The association maintains contacts with the municipal trust bodies of the City of Espoo, professional organizations and authorities in the field, and monitors issues related to its field, takes initiatives, issues statements and organizes exhibition activities.

In this summer exhibition at the Antares Art Center, the Espoo Artists’ Guild presents the extensive expertise of its members. Among other things, paintings, drawings, sculpture and sound art are included. The exhibition offers a multidimensional overview of the different approaches, techniques and materials used by artists in the field of contemporary art. The works are based on each artist’s own starting points and working methods.

The exhibition has been supported by the City of Espoo.
