This call for proposals forms part of the area’s long-term cultural work, which aims to strengthen residents’ participation and foster a sense of community through the arts. The primary target audience for community art is young people, along with their friends, families, and other local residents. Activities are accessible and easy to take part in.
During the autumn, Kaukajärvi will also host a variety of other arts activities that invite people to try new things, participate, and connect with others. These activities will take place both in guided groups and as open workshops and events throughout the Haihara area.
In addition to community art, a new development is the introduction of the “Meanwhile Use Spaces for Culture and Arts”, located in the former caretaker’s residence within the Haihara estate grounds.
The call is open to creators working in community art, participatory art, or related fields. Proposals are especially encouraged from artist duos, although individual applicants are also welcome. The call for proposals is available on the Culture Bank online service, and submissions must be made by 2 August 2026.
Culture Bank is a free online service that brings together professional artists and cultural practitioners and the services they offer. Registration with Culture Bank is free of charge.
