Middle of Nowhere

Written by Team FI | Jun 12, 2024 8:52:30 AM

Now is the time to explore this fresh oasis of ITE art in Southern Finland. ITE art is Finnish visual contemporary folk art. The ‘ITE’ lettering comes from the Finnish ‘Itse Tehty Elämä’, i.e. self-made life.

ITE art is an integral part of its maker’s life. The art park offers unique and inventive ITE art in the midst of Hyvinkää's forests. Initiated by two friends, the project aims to raise awareness of ITE art and artists and merge it into a cozy hangout spot. 

In the park, you can walk along boardwalks and admire various sizes and styles of artworks. Additionally, there is an art café offering coffee, tea, beers, and wines.

The art park is open from the end of June to the beginning of September, providing ample time to visit this unique location throughout the summer!
