FRAME Finnish Fund for Art Exchange supports and organises participation by Finnish artists in international biennials and other recurring international art events. Each year, several major events are selected and biennial grants awarded to assist Finnish participation.

The FRAME grant programme can fund not only transportation and publicity costs, but also, for example, the cost of producing the artworks, the work of the curator and producer, and the production of publicity material. Funding can only be granted if, when making the application, the applicant already has an invitation to the biennial or exhibition in question. Support can be applied for either by the arranging organisation or the individual artist(s).
