Ars Fennica Award


Ars Fennica Award presented by the Henna and Pertti Niemistö Ars Fennica Art Foundation is the biggest Finnish art prize awarded annually since 1991 and every two years since 2015. The Ars Fennica art award is made to one artist from Nordic or Baltic countries in recognition of distinctive artistic output of high merit. Since 2021, the prize money has been 50,000 Euro, after it has gradually increased in previous years.
Before the decision is made, there will be a public exhibition of all nominees in the year in question. This took place in 2007, 2009, 2010, 2014 and 2017 and 2023 at the Kiasma Museum in Helsinki. In 2025, the exhibition will take place at the HAM - Helsinki Art Museum.
