Vapaa Taidekoulu

The Free Art School is a private educational institution in Helsinki, founded in 1935, that focuses on painting. [3] The school offers a four-year, full-time study program to become a professional painter, and also organizes open drawing courses and lectures suitable for all levels. [3, 6] The main focus is on adults and young adults pursuing a professional career rather than on children's hobby clubs; no age limits are specified for the open courses, but the student body includes both young people and career changers.
