Mikkeli’s 14th Illustration Triennial
Mikkeli Art Museum, Mikkeli
- 13.6.2026–13.9.2026
Mikkeli’s 14th Illustration Triennial presents the breadth and versatility of contemporary illustration.

The Mikkeli Art Museum and the Association of Visual Communication Designers in Finland, Grafia,
established the event in 1987, and the Finnish Illustration Association, Kuvittajat, has participated in the cooperation since 2008.
All the works of art chosen for the exhibition have been published over the last three years. A five-member jury chooses the artworks for the exhibition.
The triennial is implemented as a competition in which the artists are free to choose the theme, execution and technique for their illustrations. In our highly visualised culture, illustration has expanded beyond its traditional publication channels.
The competition is on 12 January –1 February 2026. The competition invitation (in Finnish) can be read at : www.mikkeli.fi/kuvitustriennale
