Kankaanpää, Municipality in Satakunta region, Finland

Kankaanpää spans across 704 square kilometers at the intersection of Hämeenkangas and Pohjankangas ridges, located 55 kilometers north of the city of Pori.

The municipality emerged from early settlements in the 1560s, received market town status in 1967, and gained full town recognition in 1972.

The municipality maintains over 100 public artworks throughout its streets, complemented by the Kankaanpää Art School and multiple exhibition spaces.

The local tourist office provides detailed maps for exploring the Art Path and Art Route, allowing visitors to discover the public art collection.
