The Art Circuit - Konstrundan July 27th - July 29th 2012

For the fifth year in a row the Art Circuit (Konstrundan) opens the doors to artists, craftsmen and designers along the west and south coast of Finland. The Art Circuit offers you the opportunity to get to know art and the people behind the art in the Swedish-speaking regions of Finland. You can see anything from visual art to handicraft, from photography to video art in the environment that the art is being produced in.

For two days you can visit exhibitions, take part in workshops, meet artists, talk to them and watch them create in their own creative environment. The Art Circuit offers you the possibility to see the artists' everyday life and to experience the magic of the creative processes. As in previous years, more exact information about the open studios and artists will be found in the Konstrundan magazine, which you can find in tourist spots around the coastal regions and here on our website.

The Art Circuit has been received warmly by the audience. The public feels welcome and the spirit of the event is relaxed and warm. There are open studios and exhibitions all along the coastal area, so people can go from one studio or exhibition to another. Every place has its own feeling, which adds to the exciting atmosphere of the circuit. During the days of Konstrundan you can be delighted, surprised, moved and happy. By the end of your circuit you will be tired, but have memories that last a lifetime from a day in an inspiring environment.

Use these pages to help plan and create your own route. The event sites are grouped according to region, which helps you plan the most convenient route. As you will notice, there is a map on every artist page, which will help you find your way, even to the most remote sites.

The Art Circuit is made possible through support from Svenska Kulturfonden and Föreningen Konstsamfundet. The project is brought to you by Åbolands hantverk rf. in cooperation with Svenska Kulturfonden, Kulturföreningen Konstverket rf., Pro Artibus, Uudenmaan taidekoulu, Ålands Konstförening and Ålands slöjd och Konsthantverk rf..

Welcome on an inspiring trip!
