HIAA Fest 2025

This year Helsinki International Artists’ Association ry (HIAA) celebrates its fifth HIAA Fest event and alongside, some milestone achievements: HIAA has reached 200 members, and in 2025 it received its first ever grant from Taike (Subsidy for promoting cultural diversity and combating racism). Things to celebrate indeed!

Come to our grand opening on 26.11 from 17:00 to connect with our artists. We will have music and dance performances, refreshments and celebrational cake. Without your support HIAA would never have gotten this far, so thank you!
