The story
Mantta Art Festival in Mantta-Vilppula
Mänttä Art Festival has run each summer since 1993, organized by the Friends of Fine Art in Mänttä, presenting the country's largest annual summer exhibition of contemporary Finnish art across venues in the town centre. It operates independently from the town's other major institution, the historical Serlachius Museums collection. It suits visitors wanting a changing showcase of living Finnish artists rather than a fixed historical collection.
