Changes in the operations of the art school

The Riihimäki Education and Welfare Board decided at its meeting on 4.6.2025 June 1.8.2025 to abandon the art school's children's and youth handicrafts line as of XNUMX August XNUMX. The decision is justified by population changes. Riihimäki does not have enough children and young people to participate in the activities so that basic art education could be fully implemented in two different lines. The art school will continue to offer basic art education in the visual arts.

For adults, the handicraft group will continue its activities.

In the visual arts, the art school will have 13 study groups in the coming academic year, and there will also be open workshops in painting and ceramics. You can explore the art school's offerings in the online store.

Welcome!

Registrations are also accepted by phone, tel. 040 330 4657, and at the adult education center office at Puistikko 5. The office is open Monday-Thursday from 12 noon to 16 p.m. and is closed on Fridays.

You can register for the art school throughout the academic year, provided there is space in the groups. Registration is binding. Old students automatically retain their study place, so you do not need to register again. Cancellation of participation in art school should be made to the email address
