realm of fine arts exhibition
This summer for the forth time, an exhibition titled Kuvataiteen valtakunta (Realm of Fine Arts) in Mänttä-Vilppula presents the artworks of a number of fine artists who have recently graduated from one of the six Finnish universities of applied sciences teaching fine arts.
The exhibition is produced as a collaboration between the culture services of Mänttä-Vilppula and the universities of applied sciences.
- LAB University of Applied Sciences (Institute of Design and Fine Arts, Lappeenranta and Lahti)
- Lapland University of Applied Sciences (Visual Arts, Tornio)
- Arts Academy of Turku University of Applied Sciences (Fine Arts)
- Tampere University of Applied Sciences (D.P. in Media and Arts, Fine Art)
- Satakunta University of Applied Sciences (Fine Arts Campus, Kankaanpää)
- Yrkeshögskolan Novia (Culture and Arts, Fine Arts, Pietarsaari)
The objective of the exhibition Kuvataiteen valtakunta is to improve the visibility and position of newly graduated artists in Finland. The exhibition also highlights the important role of the universities of applied sciences teaching fine arts in the training of fine artists.
The famous art centre and interesting attraction Mänttä-Vilppula Art Town can be considered a significant arena for presenting the works of emerging and newly graduated artists.
The exhibition is co-curated with the universities of applied sciences and the Art Town.
The exhibition is supported by the Arts Promotions Centre Finland (Taike).
The artist awards are supported by Keele Foundation.
The town’s cooperation partners in the implementation of the exhibition are Myllyrannan Sisustuskeskus, Koskelantalot, Serlachius, Mänttä Art Festival and KUVATA (project for visual artist’s new field of work and earnings).
