/2025
Welcome to the Art For All Festival August 22nd to 24th! This year, the art festival takes over the shopping center Easton Hansakäytävä in Itäkeskus, filling the empty commercial spaces with art.
Money, grind and consumerism! Steps on the way towards Success & Glory. Art For All Festival of 2025 invites reflections on what success means in contemporary society.
Through the theme SUCCESS & GLORY the festival explores narratives and ideals in a society that pushes individualism, competition, and constant self-development. Evolve or perish! Be the best version of yourself! Behind success narratives are stories of people who are messy, complicated, and exhausted. What about when your efforts do not succeed? Does contemporary society allow failure?
THE FESTIVAL PROGRAMME WILL BE PUBLISHED SOON
