Kulttuuritehdas Vernissa, Cultural theatre in Jokiniemi, Vantaa, Finland
Kulttuuritehdas Vernissa is a cultural venue housed in an industrial building that contains performance spaces, galleries, and workshop areas for creative work. The facility uses this mixed infrastructure to provide access to different artistic disciplines and collaborative projects.
The building dates to 1863 and began as an industrial site before transforming into a major cultural institution serving the Vantaa region. This conversion reflects how manufacturing and craft spaces have been repurposed to support artistic work.
The theatre welcomes young people aged 13 to 20 and serves as a gathering place where they can participate in performances, exhibitions, and hands-on artistic activities. Visitors of this age can explore different creative practices and see work made by their peers in a supportive setting.
The venue is currently operating from West Side Vernissa in Martinlaakso while renovations take place at the original location. Check current information before your visit to confirm the operating location and what activities are available during your planned time.
The center operates dedicated spaces for animation, rap music production, and street dance, making contemporary artistic forms accessible to young people. This focus on modern art forms sets it apart from more traditional cultural venues.
