Painting event at Tikanoja Art Gallery on 9 July

A painting event open to the public will be held in the garden of the Tikanoja Art Gallery on Sunday 9 July from 11:00 to 14:00. The painting event will be a pre-celebration of the Finnish Visual Arts Day, which is celebrated in honour of Helene Schjerfbeck’s (1862–1946) birthday. The event is carried out in cooperation with Vaasa artists’ guild, Vaasan Taiteilijaseura ry, and is led by the artist Marita Perttula.

Vaasa City Museums will provide easels, paper, brushes and cover paint, but if you want to paint on canvas with oil paints or other tools, it is recommended to bring them with you. Admission to the garden event is free. There is an entrance fee to the museum’s exhibitions.
