The art centre promotes the art education of children and young people in Finland and its activities include art, art education and research.
The centre organises exhibitions, education and training, and workshops. The emphasis is on visual arts. The heart of the art centre is the international collection and archive of children’s and young people’s art, which has accumulated since the 1970s and now comprises approximately 100 000 artworks from some 130 countries. The Art Centre for Children and Young People collaborates with various expert bodies in the fields of youth work, art and culture.
The Art Centre for Children and Young People is run by a foundation established by the Ministry of Education and Culture and the City of Hyvinkää in 1980.
 
THEME
What kind of food do you eat at your place? What kind of habits and rituals are involved in eating? Where and how is food being produced and made? What does food look, smell and taste like? How would you represent the features and traditions of the food culture in your own environment, family, school or home town?
