Finnish & American Women’s Network invites you to our Summer Events 2025
Summer Fun – in the spirit of World Ocean Day
Monday
June 9th
5:30 - 7:30pm
Join us for fun networking and meet Artist Sini Kunnas, she welcomes everybody:
It will be an immense joy to meet you all at this event and I will make a presentation about my ocean and waters paintings. They are mostly about joy and love for the vast seas and marine life, but the works are all abstract. I live in Rovaniemi, the Arctic Circle. So, ice, snow, the Norwegian ocean shores mixing in the warm waters journeys of Montenegro and Portugal inspiring me to express water in so many ways.
Please dress wearing some blue/all blue to celebrate the amazing global World Ocean Day.
Warmest greetings from the Arctic! Tervetuloa! - Välkommen - Welcome!

at the Scandinavia House
Thursday
June 12th
7:00 - 9:00pm
Join us on June 12 for a performance by jazz quartet Kaisa’s Machine, featuring acclaimed Finnish bass player and ASF Fellow Kaisa Mäensivu with Max Light (guitar), Eden Ladin (piano), and Joe Peri (drums)!
Featuring: KAISA’S MACHINE
With compositions ranging from bouncy to groovy, to celebratory to existential, Kaisa’s Machine was formed by Mäensivu in 2015, and released the debut album In the Key of K in 2017. Now based in NYC, the group has brought new players into its orbit, and released the follow-up album Taking Shape with Greenleaf Music in 2023. With richly emotive and demanding writing, Mäensivu’s music features a sense of story, a sonic richness and surprise. As Mäensivu says, “The music captures the magic of New York, where the atmosphere is open to new things.”
“Strong, highly musical bass presence” — London Jazz News
