Art

Let’s enjoy the magic of the countryside! Let’s do it together using environmental art techniques, or get inspired by contemporary Finnish folk art; ITE art. We can create together extraordinary art experiences and encounters across Finland, all in a climate-friendly manner and respecting the spirit of the site.
