We are looking for nature guides and artists to produce nature art excursions in Espoo, Lohja, Karkkila, and Siuntio
The City of Espoo is looking for offers on nature art excursions, which will take place between 1 April 2026 and 31 May 2027. The excursions will be implemented as part of the project UUSI KULMA – Culture and nature activities in Uusimaa. We are looking for artists and nature guides to produce content for the nature art excursions.
The UUSI KULMA (New Angle) project combines cultural and artistic elements with outdoor activities in nature. During nature walks, local artists will present, for example, musical performances, dance sessions or poetry readings in nearby natural sites. Each excursion will have one nature guide and one artist working together. Events will be held year-round in Espoo, Lohja, Karkkila and Siuntio until 31 May 2027.
The target groups of the activities are people in mental health and substance use rehabilitation, older people and immigrants.
The project is co-funded through the Supporting Sustainable Growth and Vitality in the Regions (AKKE) grant issued by the Helsinki-Uusimaa Regional Council. The main partner in the project is the City of Espoo in cooperation with the cities of Lohja and Karkkila, the municipality of Siuntio, and the Western Uusimaa wellbeing services county.
The call for tenders was published in the Cloudia Tendering system on 9 February 2026. The tenders are open until 28 February, 3:45 p.m. in the Cloudia system.
