Yö operates within the Finnish art and culture scene, aiming at becoming a nation-wide actor. We do not stick to genre boundaries and our members represent a wide variety of different art forms: visual arts, sound art, theatre, music, poetry, graffiti, performance arts as well as many other disciplines.
Members of Artists' Association Yö are a part of an international art community that supports the well-being and livelihoods of artists. Members can be involved in the association's activities at grassroots level and take part in planning Yö's future activities. In the year 2026 the new member's joining fee is 30€ and the annual membership fee is 30€.
