We bring together all forms of art
The Visual Art House is a new kind of community where artists and audiences meet. It is neither a museum nor a gallery but an art hub larger than any physical space.
The Visual Art House is remarkable in its scale and unique in its ambitions
Together, our aim is to create a new visual arts sector, renew cooperation, operating models and services, and bring the organisations under the same roof in the Helsinki city centre. The House’s operating model aims to strengthen and grow the visual arts sector not just by co-working, but by truly working together. The Visual Art House is primarily a house for visual artists.
The Digital Visual Art House
The Digital Visual Art House is a shared communication platform for the House and its members, and the face of the House before the actual, physical house. In the future, the The Digital Visual Art House can provide a platform for presenting and communicating art online.
conditions for the establishment of the Visual Art House
A two-year study was carried out to identify the conditions for the establishment of the Visual Art House. It was published in June 2021. The study was based on a series of extensive interviews with industry stakeholders. The study resulted in identifying a common desire for a reform of operating models. The Visual Art House Association was established to implement the objectives of the study.
