Events
The Pro Artibus Foundation’s collection consists of more than 1300 artworks
The majority of the works are modern and contemporary art by Finnish-Swedish artists. The oldest works date back to the start of the 20th century, as the collection is based on the art that the Swedish Cultural Foundation in Finland began acquiring in 1957. The collection is constantly being augmented with contemporary art.

In Tammisaari the Foundation has the Snäcksund artist’s residence with two separate programmes – The Villa and The Croft. In Vaasa the Foundation has the Solsidan residence and an art-education collaboration with the Faculty of Education and Welfare Studies at Åbo Akademi University – Vasa.
