Konstrundan Open Studios Event 3.-4.9.2022

I arranged my Konstrundan Open Studios Event at the village house of Kontioniemi 3.-4.9.2022. During the Konstrundan weekend the village house became a gallery space where my art and design was on display and you could also see equipment for making art from my studio. There was also a pop-up art cafe. On Monday I had visitors from Kontioniemi school and Kontioranta day care center.

I had such a lovely weekend meeting people face to face. I was telling about the work of a visual artist and we had many interesting and memorable conversations about art, experiencing, seeing and feeling. About life.

There were over 200 visitors at my happening. Thank you so much for all who came!!

Thank you for supporting and for co-operation:

As a community Artist for the City of Joensuu

I got to an interesting job as a Community Artist for the City of Joensuu!

As a Community Artist with Cultural Services by the City of Joensuu I made community art with elderly people and people living in the country side areas of Joensuu. The starting point for my projects was 15x15 cm size.

Art work at Selkie skating ramp

Art work at Selkie skating ramp. Artists Laura Melkinen and Miia Rosenius painted the other side of the ramp in 2020 and a community art workshop in street art was held as part of the Regional Day of North Karelia. In summer 2021 the artists painted also the other side giving the ramp the final touch as an environmental art work.
