Urban nature takes over Taidekeskus Ahjo

Helsinki Artists' Association partnership exhibition URBANA HORTUS will take over Joensuu Artists' association Art Center Ahjo in May. As many as 98 artists with more than a hundred works are participating in the exhibition. The Joensuu Artists' Association had a reciprocal partnership exhibition at the Helsinki Artists' Association Gallery Katariina in December 2022.

URBANA HORTUS means urban garden in Finnish. Taidekeskus Ahjo has on display a diverse and rich set of works by Helsinki Artists' association member artists, who in one way or another tell about the urban landscape in many different ways and from different points of view, according to the author's interpretation. The exhibition features, among other things, paintings, graphics, sculptures, graffiti, video and sound art.
