Through exhibitions of contemporary Finnish, Finnish-American and American artists, the Finlandia Art Gallery promotes Finlandia Foundation National’s mission of championing Finnish culture and heritage.
The gallery organizes exhibitions that encourage appreciation and understanding of art and its role in society through direct engagement with the original works of art and the artists who created them. With the goal of both broadening our perspective and strengthening our international connections, the gallery provides educational resources for our community and is a gathering place for people to discuss and reflect upon art. Our aim is to be the leading exhibitor of Finnish and Finnish-American art in the United States. Art enthusiasts will enjoy the ever-changing exhibits at the Finlandia Art Gallery.
Each year the gallery collaborates with the Finnish Folk School to provide programming and exhibits. The synergistic collaborations between the Finnish American Folk School and the gallery provide programming that infuses tradition with contemporary thought and technique, culminating in the annual The Folk School at Midsummer exhibit during the summer months.
Support the Gallery! Your donation helps us to continue offering contemporary art exhibits for our community.
