International visitor programme

Frontpage › Programme › International visitor programme

Frame supports the networking of Finnish contemporary art professionals by inviting international art professionals to visit Finland. Our guests include curators, researchers and cultural producers. We tailor an individualised programme for each guest based on their interests.

If you wish to organise a research visit in Finland for an international curator or other professional in collaboration with Frame Contemporary Art Finland, please fill in and submit this form. The emphasis of the visitor programme is on supporting visits that benefit the local contemporary art scene as broadly as possible.

Proposals for international visitor programme visits can be submitted to Frame Contemporary Art Finland throughout the year. Proposals are reviewed by Frame programme team on a monthly basis.

Large part of Frame’s visitor programme is produced in collaboration with other international and local organisations and agents. Frame also awards travel grants for international art experts visiting Finland.
