Annual Rings: Haaga Art Society 60th Anniversary Exhibition

The Haaga Art Society's 60th anniversary exhibition brings together works by the society's artists from different decades in the Kanneltalo gallery: paintings, prints, photographs, and sculptures. Alongside older works, newer pieces are also on display, so the exhibition spans a broad arc from the society's history to the present day. The exhibition also presents the history of the society's activities.

Founded in 1966 in North Haaga, the Haaga Art Society has organized exhibitions, courses, workshops, and collaborative projects over the years.
