OPEN CALL: Taidetta saareen!
Save Vartiosaari - Art Project III June 8 - September 28, 2014.
Taidetta saareen! Save Vartiosaari – Art Project III June 8 –September 28, 2014.
The Opening takes place on Sunday, June 8 at 2-4.30 pm. Welcome!
Support preserving Vartiosaari as a recreational area - experience the unique nature of Vartiosaari through artworks. www.savevartiosaariart.weebly.com
Save Vartiosaari Art Project is now organized for the third time. The future of Vartiosaari is uncertain because the spatial plan by Finland’s Uusimaa Regional Council and the Helsinki City plan are currently under revision. Hence this art project has arisen to support preserving Vartiosaari as a recreational area. The pieces of art are randomly scattered around the island, so that you may experience the joy of an art-treasure hunt following the lines of the nature path. Some of the works of art are challenging to find, therefore you may use an art map of the island. One of our goals is to visit the island and enjoy it.
Events and guided tours are arranged once in a month and performances are hold during the events: opening on June 8 at 2-4.30 pm and a guided tour on September 29 at 2-4.30 pm as well as guided tours in July and August. There are free of charge rowing boat trips for the events. Follow the updates on our websites and on Facebook.
