Children's Gallery

Poems from Rulla´s Poetry Livingroom
24.1.-30.3.2025

The first Children's Gallery exhibition of the year will feature poems created in the Rulla's Poetry Living Room and the Tiitiäinen satupiilo experience room during the fall of 2024, as well as two Kirsi Kunnas 100th anniversary poem animations. 

The poems and illustrations for the poem animations were made together with children in the Rulla's Art Hours in the fall of 2023. The animations were part of the Kirsi Kunnas 100th anniversary celebration and was also part of the Window Walkabout event in the fall of 2024.

During the spring of 2024, colours, creatures and various characters appeared on the outer walls of Culture House Laikku. The art made by children can be seen at the parade place in the center of Tampere, when the artworks created in the activities of the Children's Cultural Centre Rulla and the cultural education program Taidekaari took over part of the tarpaulin covering Culture House Laikku. 

The works can be seen on Laikku's exterior walls during the facade renovation until the end of 2024.

In the spring of 2024, art made by pre-school and young students was seen in the park areas of Tampere. In art planting boxes spring flowers were accompanied by important messages written on flags, growing sculptures and shelters for little creatures and colourful animals. The works for the boxes were made by pre-school students in the Taidekaari workshops, whose themes were architecture, public art and urban nature. 

The art planting boxes have been implemented in cooperation with the cultural education program Taidekaari and the green planning of the City of Tampere, Tampere Infra and the Tampere Parish Union.

Children's and Youth's Gallery can also be seen at tram stops around Tampere in the summer! 

A total of 14 artworks can be seen at the stops from the Children's Gallery exhibitions that were on display in the Culture House Laikku's Corridor Gallery in the spring 2024, as well as from Taidekaari's Rytmireilaajat entirety.
