History
Why did IHME change its operations?
From a festival into a contemporary art commissioning agency.
Saastamoinen Foundation has firmly anchored itself in Finnish society by promoting the work of actors in the fields of science and art, and by networking both in Finland and internationally. Saastamoinen Foundation is in collaboration with IHME Helsinki in 2023-25.
Kone Foundation’s goal is to advance bold initiatives in research and the arts. It is an independent and unaffiliated organisation, which awards grants to promote academic research, culture, art and the popularisation of research, maintains the Saari Residence for artists and researchers and organises various events. Kone Foundation has supported IHME financially since 2015.
Abakanowicz Arts and Culture Charitable Foundation, which began its operations in 2019, furthers scholarly work on the artist Magdalena Abakanowicz and supports projects internationally which demonstrate her belief in art as a visual language within cultures and dynamic force in contemporary society. AACCF is in collaboration with IHME Helsinki in 2023-25.
