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 Finnish Cultural Institute in New York is one of the 17 Finnish Cultural and Academic Institutes abroad. The Institute is located in New York and its field of activities covers all of the United States and Canada. The Institute is a-not-for profit organization with a 501(c)3 status. All donations made to the institute are tax deductible. The Finnish Cultural Institute is supported by an annual endowment from the Ministry of Education in Finland and by various corporate and private sponsors and grants. In addition to having an office in New York, the Institute also maintains an office in Helsinki, Finland. 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). |
