The Finnish Light Art Society FLASH was founded in 2017 and is based in Helsinki. The society does not have a permanent office. It is a non-profit association dedicated to promoting light art. The society brings together light artists, curators, lighting designers, light event producers, lighting planners, and those who are interested in light art from diverse backgrounds. It is neither an union nor an artist organization; instead, it advocates for light art in general, and membership requires nothing more than an interest in the field.
