The Maire Gullichsen Prize is an honour given to a contemporary artist. Maire Gullichsen (1907–1990) defended art’s profound, universally human core; the impact on viewers of art that is made intuitively and to the full. In that same spirit, the Maire Gullichsen Prize committee looks for values that exemplify something outside of the mainstream in contemporary art.
We want to honour artists who make art out of an inner necessity. We trust that their personal ethos and pleasure in making art will be communicated to viewers as something to be enjoyed regardless of changes in style ideals.
Maire Gullichsen’s 80th Anniversary Fund was founded in 1988 to commemorate the birthday of Maire Gullichsen (1907-1990), the prominent patron of the arts, and is administered by the Alvar Aalto Foundation.

The 2024 Maire Gullichsen Prize has been awarded to the visual artist Emilia Tanner, who is known for her exceptionally skilled and subtle work. The Maire Gullichsen Prize is now being awarded for the 11th time. The art award is worth 10,000 euros. Read more from the press release
