HIAA is a registered artists’ association for international artists living in Finland or elsewhere. It aims to promote interaction between artists from different countries, with different background and education. HIAA brings together artists to exchange ideas, to talk about art and artists’ life in Finland and elsewhere, to learn new techniques and to participate in group exhibitions. It is open to all visual artists regardless of formal education or nationality. The association language is English.

HIAA was launched at the beginning of 2007 in a meeting of two artists, Susan Wilander and Canal Jagerroos. The idea came originally from Belgium where Susan Wilander had been a member of a similar association (API). In 2008 HIAA became a registered association.
