Helsinki Biennial is an international contemporary art event held every two years, bringing high-quality contemporary art to the maritime Vallisaari Island and the center of Helsinki.
Helsinki Biennial was held for the first time in the summer of 2021. The next biennial will take place from 8 June to 21 September 2025.
Helsinki Biennial offers a unique opportunity to discover international contemporary artists from Finland and around the world. Some of the biennial’s artworks will be permanently placed in Helsinki’s urban space after the event.
Helsinki Biennial is a city-wide initiative launched as part of Helsinki’s urban strategy. This ambitious event aims to transform Helsinki into an art capital with wide appeal as a cultural destination and also to strengthen the international recognition of the entire Finnish art scene.
HAM is in charge of organizing the ambitious contemporary art event Helsinki Biennial.
