Konstrundan 2025 – Explore the places where art comes to life

14.08.2025 hrs 14:31
Konstrundan will be held for the 18th time on 6–7 September 2025. Over the weekend, around 480 visual artists, craftspeople, designers, and artist residencies across all regions of Finland will open their doors to the public. Visitors are welcome to step into studios and workshops, meet the people behind the works, and see how their creations take shape. The studios are open from 11 am to 5 pm, making it easy to visit several locations in one day.

Konstrundan is a nationwide event that, since its launch in 2008, has expanded to include both large cities and small towns across the country. It offers a wide variety of techniques and materials – from painting, ceramics, and jewellery to textiles, woodworking, and design. On the website konstrundan.fi, all participant profiles can be found, complete with images, introductions, and artist interviews. The site also features the Konstrundan map, which makes it easy to plan your own route. For tips on particularly interesting destinations, the Konstrundan team is happy to provide recommendations for different regions and towns.

This year will once again feature the Konstrundan Art Lottery, where visitors can win artworks by eight different participants from eight regions. Participation is free of charge, and every location offers the chance to fill in a digital lottery ticket. The prizes will be presented both on-site and online, and the winners will be announced in October.

On Friday, 5 September, group visits for schools and associations can be booked with participating artists. On Thursday, 4 September, the Konstrundan team’s art exhibition will open at Kulturhuset Grand in Porvoo from 5 pm to 7 pm, and it will remain open throughout September. This year, Konstrundan is also a partner event of Helsinki Design Week.

“Konstrundan brings art closer and makes it accessible. It lifts the veil on the creative process and invites encounters that might not otherwise take place. Here, you can pause, be curious, ask questions, and look at art through a different lens. The opportunity to step into someone else’s creative world, on their terms, is both inspiring and valuable – and it reminds us of art’s power to touch and connect people. I hope many will let curiosity lead the way, because you never know what encounters or experiences await around the corner,” says Konstrundan Project Manager Frida Gullichsen.

In August, a webinar on art pricing will be held in collaboration with Globe Art Point on 20 August for Konstrundan participants and GAP members, led by Terese Kühl. In addition, in collaboration with Porvoo Art Association, the panel discussion Local Global – The Local Art Community’s Path to International Markets will take place on 28 August at Art Factory Porvoo and online via Zoom. The panel will feature Petri Hytönen, Jukka Vikberg, Juha-Heikki Tihinen, and Konstrundan’s Leena Stolzmann.
