Taidesuunnistus (literally Art orientation) weekend is an open studio weekend in the entire
Pirkanmaa area. During the Taidesuunnistus weekend, the public has the opportunity to visit
the workspaces of various art forms, galleries and other exhibition spaces and meet artists at
work. The public can ask questions, discuss the art, buy works or just admire the local
knowledge.
All sites can be found on our website and in this printed catalog. Sites and places on this list
are numbered according to their hometown and location. They are also marked on four
different maps according to their location. The maps are: Tampere city center, Tampere,
Nokia city center and Pirkanmaa. You can see all sites in Google map on the web. We have
asked sites to tell us if it is a working space or if there is a barrier-free access. These are
marked in the catalog with separate symbols
