Art Fair Suomi is children’s festival too!
Art Fair Suomi invites you to participate with children, too! We offer programme specifically planned for kids throughout the week. Read below how to participate with children.
Independent tours for children
The independent tours for children enable gallery visits with your own schedules. At the galleries, there are two different kinds of tasks for children. In the bingo, younger children get to look for colours and shapes in the artworks. In the crossword puzzle, children can search the pieces for words that go to the puzzle. By showing a completed task sheet to the gallery staff, children will receive a sticker as a prize.
Where? Galleria Duetto, Galleria Halmetoja, Galleria Pirkko-Liisa Topelius

Step into the garden! – guided tour and an art workshop for toddlers
Step into the garden! is a guided tour and an art workshop for under 3-year-olds with a parent. We will get inspiration from Marianne Huotari’s floral ceramics and Fanny Tavastila’s verdant paintings and the toddlers get to paint their own flowery garden. The art workshop will happen on the floor with the help of each parent. The event will be held twice, in Finnish and in Swedish.
Due to pandemic, the registration is open for one parent and one child per family. In the workshop we will use nontoxic and water-soluble readymix paints. The painting may cause some mess, so we recommend wearing suitable clothing and an apron. There is a toilet in the gallery. There are two elevators and the prams can be left downstairs in the hall or inside on the 4th floor. Welcome!
