If you want to see something breathtakingly beautiful go to Arabia!
Arabia is the famous ceramic factory in Helsinki, still loaded with talented (what a lame word!) freelance artists. Now you have the possibility to see their work by visiting the gallery of the factory where some unique pieces, a link in the long heritage of Arabia art department and Finnish ceramic art, are exhibited until the end of May.
The exhibition Arabian 9. kerros is open in Galleria Arabia until 27.5.2012. Open Wed-Fri 12am-6 pm, Sat-Sun 10 am-4 pm. Address Hämeentie 135, 9th floor, 00560 Helsinki.

To know more about Arabia and it´s artists, buy a new book Arabian 9. kerros, taideosasto ja sen taiteilijat by Raija Forsström, published by Kirjapaja. Even if you do not understand Finnish, you can always enjoy the beautiful pictures!

  1. Arabia's ninth floor artists are definitely a concept that one wishes to stay alive in the project based world. This kind of unique hub is a crucial part of the company DNA.
