FINNISH ART AGENCY Finnish Art Agency on perustettu vuonna 2013 yhä enenevässä määrin kansainvälistyvien suomalaisten taiteilijoiden agentuuritoimistoksi, kuvataiteen välittäjäportaan kysynnän kasvaessa. Finnish Art Agency tarjoaa ammattitaitoisia palveluitaan taiteilijoille, yrityksille, taideyhteisöille sekä yksityisille toimijoille. FAA etsii ja kontaktoi toimijoita, esittelee ja saattaa yhteen taiteilijoita ja instituutioita. Yksittäisten taiteilijoiden lisäksi toimiston asiakkaina on muun muassa museoita, yliopistoja, järjestöjä, sekä eri toimialojen toimistoja ja yksityisiä henkilöitä. Finnish Art Agency:n taiteilija- ja museoyhteistyö perustuu Suomen sisäisen sekä laajan kansainvälisen kontaktiverkoston ylläpitämiseen ja kasvattamiseen ja tätä kautta aktiiviseen taiteilijoiden työllistymismahdollisuuksien kartoittamiseen. Finnish Art Agency:n tehtävä on olla edelläkävijä alalla, jolla vastaavia toimijoita ei juurikaan ole. Finnish Art Agency was founded in 2013 as an agency for internationally oriented Finnish artists, as the demand for mediating actors in the visual art scene has increased. Finnish Art Agency offers professional services for artists, companies, art organisations and private individuals. The agency searches and contacts agents, introduces and brings together artists and institutions. Apart from single visual artists, FAA s clients include museums, universities, organisations and offices in several sectors. The agency s collaboration with artists and museums is based upon fostering and nurturing the national and the international networks, thus actively mapping out work opportunities for artists. Finnish Art Agency s task is to be a forerunner in a field where there are practically no equivalent actors. #finnishartagency
