Daily itinerary

Our personnel and guides will lead you through the exhibition, giving food for thought on the exhibition's theme and the artists. While touring the exhibition, you can also purchase coffee, soft drinks, snacks and organic Finnish ice cream (also for vegans) from our festival shop. Our bookshop offers literature and postcards on the works of our artists. You can also choose the date of your visit according to our side programme, Mänttä Art Festival XTRA, where we delve deeper into the exhibition's themes through artists’ meetings, lectures and workshops. Our exhibition usually expands into the townscape with various artworks, e.g. wall paintings and installations.
