Espoo’s own children’s culture centre celebrates 20 years of operation this autumn through participatory artworks and events highlighting children’s creativity. Visual and audio artworks created during the autumn are compiled into a great free art festival to be held on Saturday 25 November from 15.00 to 19.00.

PROGRAMME:
16.00 & 18.00 | Outdoor stage
Clown Lilli Pii | MC Rauhatäti feat. Hassan Maikal (total performance time about 40 minutes)
Our birthday clown Lilli Pii’s eventful life is not without mishaps. Anything can happen with Lilli Pii! She plays the guitar upside down, she dances with her legs criss-crossed and bakes a birthday cake in a suitcase...

MC Rauhatäti (Hanna Yli-Tepsa) has taught rap and word art workshops where children could write rap songs about things that are important to them. She now performs the lyrics, with a guest appearance by Hassan Maikal.

15.00–19.00 | Paint your birthday treat with UV paints! workshop | Yard
Come and paint your favourite birthday treat! The workshop focuses on painting birthday treats with UV paints, and the completed works are assembled into a buffet. Participants get to see how UV magic is realised in their own paintings. Workshop designed and instructed by: Seikkailutaidekoulu

15.00–19.00 | Mousy Christmas workshop | Art House
Adorable mice take over the dollhouse. Will there be cheese and cheer under the Christmas tree? But of course! Come and make your own mouse part of the Mousy Christmas exhibition. If you want, you can also make a mouse to take home. Workshop designed and instructed by: Runoropinoita poetry performance/Ulla-Maija Vanhala
