What a year! As 2024 draws to a close, we would first and foremost like to thank everyone who has supported Konstrundan this year - artists, visitors and partners, as well as everyone who has followed along the way. Your continued support and interest have helped us to celebrate the creative diversity and encounters that Konstrundan facilitates.

Konstrundan 2024 has been a year of change and development. With a new organiser in Kulturföreningen Grand and initiatives such as the new format of the Konstrundan magazine, we have taken important steps to renew the event. For the first time, artist residencies participated as separate entities, and we have established valuable contacts with our sister event Oslo Open in Norway, thanks to support from the Swedish Cultural Foundation. With additional support from Suomen Kulttuurirahasto, we have further developed the event, hired a new regional contact in Eastern Finland and have several new recruitments in the pipeline.
We can't wait to see what 2025 brings!

SAVE THE DATE 2025
