A LOOK BACK - PAST EVENTS
HIAA SPRING ART & CRAFT MARKET 2024
LUCKAN - MAY 19, 2024
HIAA'S annual Spring Art & Craft Market of 2024 was held in the beautiful main-floor space of Luckan, Helsinki. Dozens of artists gathered to share their handcrafted goods with a cool atmosphere of baked goods and live jazz music performed by one of our boardmembers.
Guests and passerbys found the market to be a quaint and unique surprise on their Sunday walk around the city, bringing home treasures and supporting our community by patronage.
Special thanks to Luckan for use of their exceptional space in an ideal location, and Cafe Cardemumma for their exquisite baked goods -to suit a variety of diets- which were kindly donated to make our spring market a unique and elevated experience for our community and visitors alike.

We were pleased to welcome smiling faces from passerby's and fans from years previous to shop our growing community of artists and their outdoor displays.
