Artists at Risk (AR) is delighted to be joining the community at Hietsun Paviljonki in Helsinki, with the use of a studio and a workshop for PM and AR-Safe Haven Helsinki residents. Hietsun Paviljonki joins the AR’s commons and studio spaces at Lapinlahden Lähde and Levytie as the newest AR-Safe Haven Helsinki hosting location. Kholod Hawash and Saddam Jumaily and  will be the first artists based at the space which will be available for all PM and AR-Residents.

As the village-house of Töölö district, Hietsun Paviljonki is deeply embedded in its neighbourhood. The building is run by the non-profit organisation KOY Töölön kylätalon Hietsu and is home to the Hietsu classical concert series and the Academy of Hietsu, and frequently hosts community events as well as providing workspaces for artists, musicians, designers, researchers and more.

The goal of the community centre is to offer affordable spaces for communities, organizations and creative individuals and promote interaction between citizens, government, NGOs and small businesses. This offers an ideal environment for PM and AR-Residents to thrive, create and work.

We are looking forward to hosting future events and getting to know our new neighbours!
