The joint campaign between the John Nurminen Foundation and the City of Helsinki continues. The campaign aims to raise roughly EUR 210,000 before expenses. The net profit of the campaign will be directed for the Foundation’s Clean Baltic Sea projects, which work for the reduction of eutrophication-inducing phosphorus in the Baltic Sea.

The next ”gleams” will be installed in November.

When ready, the length of the Horizon work of art will be 54 metres, corresponding to the average depth of the Baltic Sea. With this, designer Hannu Kähönen wanted to illustrate the vulnerability of the Baltic Sea.
