Artist search
Summer 2025
In the summer of 2024, we opened Finland’s largest art center in the Archipelago Sea in Nagu. We are now seeking artists for the summer 2025 art exhibition.
The theme for our upcoming 2025 exhibition is "Everything Unexpected Under the Sun." We hope the artworks align with our theme. We are looking for surprising, unpredictable, and perhaps slightly risqué yet playful artworks in the lighthearted tones of sun rays. We are accepting paintings, sculptures, ceramics, and installation art.
Our exhibition will be open from June 20th to August 20th, and we expect the artworks to be on display for the entire duration of the exhibition.
Finland's most beautiful art center, Paratiisi, covers an area of 1,700 m² and is built in a steel-framed greenhouse with a glass roof. Inside the greenhouse, grapes such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Merlot, and Riesling grow, adding a delightful touch to the art walls. The space itself is a unique artwork, well worth experiencing.
We are the only art center in the Archipelago Sea and the only commercial vineyard in Finland.
You can explore our successful 2024 summer exhibition on our website.
Applications and portfolios can be sent to hakemukset@paratiisinagu.fi. All questions regarding the exhibition can also be directed to the same email address. Unfortunately, we cannot answer phone inquiries about applications.
We look forward to receiving your application by February 28th, 2025. We will contact the selected artists as soon as possible, but no later than March 30th, 2025.
You are warmly welcome to be part of our story.
We do not provide financial compensation to artists. They receive a free exhibition space, and we do not take a sales commission. Our operations are funded through ticket sales, which cover staff salaries, venue maintenance, and other expenses.
Regards,
Annika & Tuomas Haapman
