Exhibition at the Mikkeli Art Museum: Mikkeli’s 14th Illustration Triennial

Mikkeli’s 14th Illustration Triennial presents the breadth and versatility of contemporary illustration. In our highly visualised culture, illustration has expanded beyond its traditional publication channels.

The triennial is implemented as a competition in which the artists are free to choose the theme, execution and technique for their illustrations. All the works of art chosen for the exhibition have been published over the last three years. A five-member jury chooses the artworks for the exhibition.

The Mikkeli Art Museum and the Association of Visual Communication Designers in Finland, Grafia, established the event in 1987, and the Finnish Illustration Association, Kuvittajat, has participated in the cooperation since 2008.

Exhibition is open at Mikkeli Art Museum: 13 June –13 September 2026.
Art Museum’s opening hours during the exhibition: Tue-Sun 10 am-5 pm.

Closed on holidays: 19–21 June 2026. On the eves of holidays, the museum will close at 4 pm.
