KONSTRUNDAN Participants 2025

Organised for the 18th time this year, Konstrundan brings together 480 artists, craftspeople, designers and artist residencies from across the country. During 6-7 September 2025, the participants will open their studios and workshops to the public, providing a unique opportunity to meet artists and gain an insight into their work.

This year's participants include both well-known names and exciting new actors in various art forms. A first list of participants is now available here (pdf). The full presentations will be published in May.

illustrator of the year

Sara Östman is an illustrator, graphic designer and new resident of Helsinki, originally from Nykarleby.

This year's illustration is created with a mix of digital drawing and oil crayon drawing. The motif is a pattern of partially abstract color fields that resemble doors or shutters ajar, as well as a checkerboard pattern - which can be likened to a route in a board game.

WHAT IS KONSTRUNDAN

For one weekend in September, professional artists, craftspeople and designers will open the doors of their studios and workshops to the public. The central aim is to create encounters between creative practitioners and visitors.

Organised annually since 2008, Konstrunda attracts around 400 participants and 30,000 visitors each year. This year, Konstrunda will take place on the first weekend of September, 7-8 September.
