Art Map 2004-2014


 

Artists from Eno were unorganized group and they wanted to start sometihing new. Art Map was founded yaer 2004 to create and maintain contacts between local artists and to help to organize events and exhibitions. First Art Map summer event was organized year 2005. There was joint exhibition in Uimaharju and other personal exhibitions at different locations in Eno. The idea was and is that we offer people chance to get know our leisurely exhibitions and to have easy interaction with the artist.
