Art Experiences

This summer, Wihasjärvi 1906 presents the “Kesän Maku” (“Taste of Summer”) art exhibition, featuring works by several magnificent artists. The exhibition is open from 8th June to 17th July, 2024. The second exhibition of the summer, “Syksyn Sävel” (“Autumn Melody”), will take place from 18th July to 8th September, 2024.

Art has been a significant part of the activities at the old Vihasjärvi school, the home of Wihasjärvi 1906. Over the years, numerous exhibitions have been seen in the school premises. Visitors have been delighted to admire visual art, ceramics, and sculptures by splendid Finnish artists.
