FRAME Finnish Fund for Art Exchange provides services and acts as an expert body in international exchanges relating to the visual arts. FRAME awards grants to create opportunities for Finnish visual artists to produce, exhibit and present their work abroad. FRAME also gives support for Finnish artist's participation to international biennials and biennial type events. To promote links between Finland and the international contemporary visual art scene, FRAME works in partnership with international artist-in-residence programs. The aim is to provide Finnish artists residencies, research, production and presentation opportunities abroad. FRAME's curator-in-residence program provides international curators opportunities to research and develop forthcoming exhibitions and publications in Helsinki. FRAME works both on collaborative projects with Finnish or international partners and acts as an independent producer for contemporary visual art projects, exhibitions and publications. FRAME's Visitors' Program gives professionals visiting Finland an opportunity to get acquainted with the contemporary art scene of the country. Under the program dozens of curators, critics, art historians and scientists are invited to Finland annually to do research for upcoming articles, exhibitions and other projects.
