For a contribution of €1,500, we offer logo visibility both online and in our printed materials. In addition to financial sponsorship, we also welcome in-kind support, such as materials for exhibition construction or catering for the opening and related events.

The opening, along with our communication and marketing activities, reaches a broad audience of art professionals and painting enthusiasts across Finland. The opening event typically attracts 800–1,000 guests, and the exhibition receives 3,000–4,000 visitors during its three-week run.

The graphic design of the exhibition will be created by Pekka Toivonen. All materials are trilingual (Finnish, Swedish, and English).
