About Us

We founded our Local Artists Association in Sipoo in 2010. Most of us have painted under the direction of visual artist Carin Bengts at Sipoo Citizens’ College. We have also made painting trips to several countries under his leadership. The members of the association include both hobbyists and professional artists.

The name of the association dates back to a painting trip to the small island of Telendos. At the end of the course, an exhibition was held at a local tavern. To our surprise, the host of the tavern had duplicated the advertisements and glued them along the village and to the walls of the connecting ship: “Tonigth local artists!”. Audience success was incredible all the way to the local television broadcast in the area.

Over the years, painters have also joined our association, e.g. From Helsinki and Porvoo. Our goal is to encourage each other in pictorial expression and, through various courses, to strengthen our members ’expertise in the visual arts without underestimating the fact that in addition to painting, we get a real dose of comfortable togetherness.
