Caisa - Art Education

Cultural Centre Caisa's art education

The mission of Cultural Centre Caisa is to highlight diversity and promote inclusion in Helsinki through the means of art and culture.

The objective of Caisa's art education is to build equality and equal opportunities in the field of art education.

We create structures, service paths and networks between different operators in Helsinki; we develop methods and models for art education; we identify and involve underrepresented authors and audiences.

Caisa's art education activities are pedagogically justified, original in terms of content and perspectives, and support and/or strive to develop a diversity and inclusion perspective in art education.

We are committed to the principles of a safer space. Course and workshop guidance recognizes and respects boundaries.

Caisa's art education is, among other things

Low-threshold art courses and workshops for the youngest in the family and their adults.
5x2 art courses for primary school children (grades 3-6).
Art-based holiday courses for children aged 7–12.
Community-oriented art and art education projects (e.g. detective art education/outreach art education)
Audience development / Audience education.

You can find more information and precise dates at Events section of our website.

Caisa's art education is built through Caisa's open call. Open calls are announced on our website.
