KALASATAMA
/URBANSCAPE

The Art For All Festival will take over the Kalasatama area and will be accessible for free!

The 2023 edition will have three main areas for exhibiting art: Sompasaarenlaituri 6 Space, Antareksenkatu 3, and Hermannin rantatie 17.

We are looking for a diverse combination of works from different disciplines to interact with the spaces! Each space is part of an apartment building, so we kindly ask the participants to be respectful and not to disturb the inhabitants.

Each Space has its own spirit and place in the Kalasatama ecosystem. Scroll down to discover more!

Sompasaarenlaituri 6 Space is a clubroom located on the ground floor. It is a wooden and concrete building with open windows facing its yard and neighborhood. The central auditorium is inviting performances and a fully equipped kitchen is looking for food artists. Side gallery Space 1 is fitting for installations and audiovisual proposals.

Antareksenkatu 3 is composed of a clubroom and gym on the 3rd floor, balconies looking over the residency yard. The spaces 1-5 have a view over Kalasatama rooftops and the skyline. The rooftop is a windy and echoey spot and there are sounds coming from the sea. Some of the windows (space 1 and 2) are tinted blue and limit the light coming in. Most of the furniture in these spaces can be moved and the space is accessible via elevator.
