ARTE
Artists Association Arte • Itäinen Rantakatu 8, 20700 Turku, Finland

Artists' Association Arte was founded in 1960. Originally formed as an exhibition group with vigorously expressed opinions, it has turned into an association of professional visual artists operating mostly in the city of Turku, Finland. The main purpose of the association is to promote visual arts in the city as well as to improve the professional, social and economical benefits of the artists living in Turku and the nearby areas. Arte actively takes part in the art discussions and brings up questions which are important for the artists. The social situation of the artists, studio situation in Turku, communal politics and art purchase of the institutions and museum as well as are important matters.

Artists Association Arte arranges interesting exhibitions and cultural events. Gallery Titanik,which Arte has run since 1988, acts as an important centre for the association. In addition to that, the association runs the international media art residency Sumu. Arte organizes many projects, workshops and events, not just in the gallery space but often out in the city as well.

At the moment Arte Association has about 90 members, all professional artists, mostly living in Turku but some as far away as in Vietnam and Australia. Arte consists of e.g. painters, printmakers, sculptors, performance artists, animators, video artists and photographers. Many of Artes members are well-known both nationally and internationally, but the association also provides good opportunities for young promising artists to develop their careers. Arte is an
active artists association, and although its already middle aged, its mind is still fresh and young!

TITANIK

Artists Association Arte has its own artist-run gallery, Gallery Titanik, in the very heart of Turku, the oldest city in Finland. The gallery was established in 1988 on the banks of the Aura River, in a space previously occupied by a public lavatory. Since the establishment, Gallery Titanik has introduced good quality contemporary art, hosted hundreds of interesting exhibitions and acted as an alternative choice in the local art scene. Besides exhibitions the gallery provides space for Arte Associations office and Sumu Residences studio. Titanik hosts exhibitions all through the year, and the entrance to the gallery is free.

SUMU

Since 2006, Artists Association Arte has offered international new media artists 1-3 month long residencies in its media art residency Sumu. The residency program is meant for international new media artists, working in the intersection of new technologies and contemporary art. The artists are provided with a studio adjoined to Artes gallery Titanik, and the accommodation is arranged in a nearby guesthouse by Åbo Akademi (Swedish University).

Transportation and other living expences are not included in the program funding. The residency artists have the possibility to have an exhibition either in the Sumu studio or on Artes website, and they can arrange several workshops or public screenings during the residency if they want to.

In addition to international residencies Arte concentrates especially on Nordic co-operations by inviting media artists from Nordic countries to Sumu. International artists can apply for a residency at Sumu once a year with an individual submission.
