Who can participate in Konstrundan 2024      

Konstrundan in Finland has been arranged annually since 2008. During Konstrundan artists, designers and artisans open their studios to the general public. Being part of Konstrundan gives positive visibility and an opportunity for new potential customers as well as many interesting conversations with visitors. In 2022, we had around 450500 participants and more than 28 000 visitors during the weekend of Konstrundan.

The aim of Konstrundan is to invite the general public to visit a wide selection of creative and exciting visiting points throughout Finland. Professionally active artists, artisans and designers are invited to apply. This year artist residencies are also welcome to apply as their own entity.

This year Konstrundan will take place Sat-Sun 7-8.9.2024. We hope that you will submit your application and we would also like you to spread the word and encourage other artists in your networks to apply to be part of Konstrundan 2023! 

The application is closed.

One of Konstrundan’s goals is to strengthen opportunities for creative professionals to make a living from their work. Therefore, quality and continuity are important factors in the assessment.
