Lielahti manor artists' and cultural community
The manor’s temporary facilities provide a setting for experimentation in culture, the arts, and community-oriented activities. Tenants of the workspaces become part of the manor’s artist and cultural community, which fosters collaboration and offers opportunities to explore various artistic and community-based processes. New tenants are encouraged to take an interest in participating actively in this open and dynamic community.
The community at the manor includes visual artists, musicians, writers, performance artists, and photographers, among others. The community is a multidisciplinary artistic environment where people experiment, research, and create together. Its activities also include events in which the public can participate through hands-on engagement and creative practices.
Participation is not limited to tenants of the manor. The community is open to everyone, including emerging artists at the beginning of their careers, who can take part on an equal footing and help shape our future direction. The manor provides a place where people can learn, create, share, and develop together with others.
