Open art workshop: Living Helsinki
10-15 - Annantalo front courtyard
(In rain indoors)
What's wriggling there, gliding swiftly? In the workshop we explore the nature around Annantalo, peek under stones. We observe the tiniest of the small and a bit larger too.
Inspired by the animal kingdom's manifesto, we paint with the wonderful colours of nature. The manifesto can be viewed in the Annantalo foyer.
Magnifying glass in your bag and brush in hand!
Facilitators: Marjut Maristo and Heli Niska
Free and open to all ages.

Picknic concert: Valtuutetut duo
12-12.30, A. stage
Helsinki city councillors Nora Grotenfelt and Antti Vuorela perform children's songs in Swedish and Finnish. Stories, nostalgia and cheerful community spirit.
Bring your own snacks and picnic blankets!
