Want to become a Bioart Society member?

Bioart Society members directly inform the purpose, vision and values. As a membership association, the highest decision-making belongs to the members who can vote on association decisions at Spring and Autumn general meetings.

We offer our members various benefits, including (but not limited to)

• Having their work included in the biannually published Members Catalogue
• Having their exhibitions, workshops and other events included in the Bioart Society's monthly Newsletter
• Discounted price for accommodation at Ars Bioarctica residency in Kilpisjärvi Biological Station
• Occasional member-exclusive open calls for different residencies and other opportunities. Members are favored in all open calls we offer.
• Opportunity to use our space in Helsinki for small events
• When organizing workshops (or other such events) we tend to invite and hire hosts from our membership
