Frame’s Annual Report 2024 has been published

Frame’s Annual Report for 2024 has been published on our website! The annual report includes key numbers, highlights, and events from last year. Last year, Frame wrapped up several long-term international projects while preparing also for future activities. We presented Finnish contemporary art in major international exhibitions, such as the Venice Biennale and the Gwangju Biennale. Frame’s core activities remained strong: we enabled numerous presentations of Finnish contemporary art abroad while continuing to strengthen the visual arts sector at home.

For the Annual Report, we also interviewed Frame’s grantees about their international projects and how Frame’s grants have impacted their international careers. The Annual Report is published in Finnish, but the interviews of Inari Sandell, Toni R. Toivonen, and Pekka and Teija Isorättyä are also available in English on Frame’s blog.
