Dancing! Art! Games! Cruising! So much MORE!

The latest BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! book presents new work by more than sixty photographers from thirty countries including China, India, Iran, Poland, and Russia where Gay rights are repressed and Queer lives are under constant threat.

Based on Mogutin’s new book published by MenOnPaperArt (London), the show features a series of works on fabric, as well as photo collages from Polaroid Rage, another ongoing project documenting Queer communities around the world.

The Awakening is a project by Barcelona-based artist Antoni Hervás, curated by Clara López Menéndez. The exhibition will be accompanied by a three month long residency at Tom of Finland Foundation (April-June).

Three Los Angeles-based photographers—Rick Castro, Amina Cruz, and Texas Isaiah—create powerful artwork that spotlights and celebrates under-represented LGBTQ+ communities. They discuss the varied subcultures and personal relationships explored in their work.

We will be outside at TOM House. Room for 15 artists only in the live session. OR join us on Zoom! If you are joining via Zoom instructions will be sent out the day before.

Save the date New York! The AllTogether Clubhouse is coming to town. After the success of the first two shows, this third

chapter of the project will take place near the site of the Stonewall uprising and on the route of the 2023 NYC Pride March in the West Village.

Playroom is Oat Montien’s first presentation in Bangkok since his residency at Tom of Finland Foundation in 2022. Inspired by his experience in Los Angeles, this brand new series of pastel drawings is the artist’s most daring and erotic works yet.

The characters in Tom of Finland’s drawings – lumberjacks, bikers, soldiers and policemen – exude vitality, joy and pride. Their leather gear and uniforms are portrayed with the same exquisite attention to detail as their muscular physiques. In his drawings, men connect with one another through erotic-laden gazes, gestures and postures.

Dreamy – Queer Imaginaries, from the Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma’s collection, aims to underline the connectivity between past and present practices dealing with LGBTQI+ identities, historicizing recent practices and signaling Tom of Finland’s pioneering agency.

Please join Tom of Finland Foundation at the Getty Center in Brentwood for a conversation and reception as part of L.A. Pride's Salon Series.

On Tom of Finland Day – what would have been Tom of Finland’s 103rd birthday (8th May 2023) – we’re taking the opportunity to reflect on the iconoclastic artist’s creative and mission-driven legacy, whose significance has continued to deepen, especially in light of the current political and social climes.

Who Tom of Finland was, and how he came to be, remains a mystery for many. Let’s journey back to discover the man behind the bulging pen strokes. His artistic influence lives on in modern celebrations of sex between men.

The Order of the Lion of Finland is awarded in recognition of outstanding civilian or military conduct, and the President of the Republic of Finland has the exclusive right to confer their decorations as Grand Master of the Orders.

The U.S. Supreme Court today ruled 7-2 against the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts regarding the question of whether Warhol’s use in his own work of a photo of the musician Prince by Lynn Goldsmith constitutes fair use. Goldsmith originally launched the case six years ago in New York State.

At the invitation of the Consulate General of Finland in Los Angeles, Tom of Finland Foundation was invited to the NCEI Summit presented by RAND Center to Advance Racial Equity Policy.

Equality is treating everyone the same, while equity is ensuring everyone has what they need to be successful.

The more than two hundred works in Kiasma’s Bold Journey exhibition have one thing in common: artist Tom of Finland’s (1920-1991) interest in the male body, and especially the idealized body of the alpha male.

TOM's Bar, the all-day party will feature TOM’s Men dancing and sweating to great music while enjoying the works of various artists and artisans.

A months-long artists’ boycott of a prominent Finnish museum came to an end after the institution said it would cut ties with a controversial patron. The strike came to an end when the Finnish National Gallery (of which Kiasma is a part) committed to new guidelines for ethical fundraising.
