We are now looking for arts and cultural workshops for the spring of the Year of Culture 2024 for the Community House and Ohjaamo. All different artistic genres are welcome to apply. The workshops at Ohjaamo are aimed at 17-29 year olds and the workshops at the Community House are open to everyone. The workshops are free of charge for participants. The aim is to enable creatives to work professionally, showcase their skills and create low-threshold cultural experiences that promote inclusion and well-being and inspire people to engage with culture.

The workshops (7x1.5 h in Ohjaamo and 7x1.5 h in the Community House) will be scheduled between the Community House, Ohjaamo and the selected cultural operators for March-April 2024. The Community House will be available for workshops on Monday afternoons from 11 March to 30 April 2024 at 15–16.30. The workshops are pre-registered and the same group will meet for the whole workshop.  

Applicants can be cultural professionals: individual self-employed artists, associations, cooperatives and companies. Artists will be selected on the basis of applications. The selection criteria are the description of the content and its suitability, the interest, the conditions for implementation, existing references and the ability to present the project.
