Forum Artis is the national co-operation organ for Finnish artists’ associations. Its aims are: to advance the interests of its member societies; to promote the co-operation within the various branches of art; and to foster the social and professional interests of its membership. The organization was formed in 1950 and its by-laws were adopted the following year. Forum Artis became a registered association in 1962.
