10.8.-30.9. Paint the World!
What color is the unicorn's mane? Who illustrates an empty storybook? Now you can draw on the wall!
Children's Cultural Centre Rulla's exhibition room will be a completely white world of imagination, which comes to life with the art of the visitors. In the exhibition, you can draw, paint and use different techniques. Objects and surfaces serve as drawing paper and a base for painting. The exhibition is a living and ever-changing overall work of art that invites you to wonder and make art, to color the shared world of magic and its stories.
Please note that in the exhibition, the children will work together with own adult. Clothes may get dirty during the visit in the exhibition, please take this into account.
The exhibition is open during Rulla's opening hours.
31.8.-15.12. Rulla's Poetry Living Room
Rulla's Poetry Living Room is part of the Children's Poetry Revolution project coordinated by Cultural Centre PiiPoo. Poetry room, inspired by Kunnas' life's work, invites you to get to know children's poetry and celebrate the joy of reading. In the Poetry Living Room, you can play with words and explore the illustrations by Jani Ikonen.
Rulla's own Poetry Living Room (open autumn 2024 and spring 2025) also includes the functional and multi-sensory Tumpkins Fairytale Hideout experience room, where you can let your imagination run wild. On the branches of the trees you can find children's poems that we collected during the spring of 2024, or you can drop new poems into funny poetry mailboxes that can hear, see and smell.
On 14th of December is the 100th anniversary of the birth of Kirsi Kunnas.
12.10.-15.12. I Like It Now
Welcome to the exploration of emotions! The parasol of joy spins in the middle of the books and anger storms black and red. Blue sadness is stored in the tear bottle and invisible bugs are crawling in the corridor of fear. Your chest flutters when you find a cute hug picture from the kissing closet. And if hugging makes you nervous, you can familiarize yourself with the work of a like researcher and search for anything from the archive. Give it a try!
I Like It Now is an experiential art world where you dive into emotions safely and with the power of imagination. The multi-sensory art adventure is based on the book of the same name by Eppu Nuotio and Liisa Kallio, which also contains word art assignments prepared by Anna Anttonen and Kati Inkala. In the exhibition, you have the opportunity to read in the midst of coloured joy, like a perfect date, weigh the pearl strings of sadness and make poems by yourself!

The Corridor Gallery next to the lecture hall is occupied by children's art. During 2024, the children's gallery will present artworks by children and young people.
