Youth Island Gallery community effort

Description

Would you like to take part in building a summer place for young Helsinki residents in Vartiosaari? Youth Island Gallery will open its doors once again in June 2022, and now we are looking for people to share their ideas over a cup of coffee and who enjoy planting, doing woodwork and raking in good company.

Youth Island Gallery will offer free-of-charge nature and art workshops for young people in summer 2022, and the Young People’s Ecocafé will serve customers of all ages. Youth Island Gallery is a place for all Helsinki residents, combining nature and art. Youth Island Gallery is located off Laajasalo in Vartiosaari, in a historical stable building and its surroundings. Vartiosaari’s magnificent scenery and historic nature trails with their forest churches offer an idyllic setting for the activities, but there is always something to be repaired, protected, built or renovated.The Youth Island Gallery community effort will be held in Vartiosaari on Wednesday, 25 May at 15:30–19:00. All those who are interested in working for the benefit of the Youth Island Gallery environment, well-being of young people and diverse nature of Vartiosaari are welcome to join us.For more information about transport and schedules, please send an email to saarigalleria@hel.fi.  We hope that many people come to help us in organising an unforgettable summer for young people once again! Artist Andrea Puscasu, patron of Youth Island Gallery, will also take part in the community effort.
