Join us in opening the season for IWCH’s own club Inside the Arts, an exclusive event for members only. In this event, we have the unique pleasure of being invited to visit art critic, gallerist, and curator Veikko Halmetoja’s private collection. We welcome you to join us in this evening of discovery and conversation.

Whether you’re an art enthusiast or simply curious, this evening promises insightful dialogue and a deeper connection to Veikko Halmetoja’s personal collection and view on the arts.

Please note:

Be advised that also living in the two-storey Halmetoja residence are two lovely poodles – if you have pet allergies or difficulties with stairs, take this into consideration.
As we enter the private home of our host, remember to bring indoor shoes!
