After the festivities, the day’s programme continues with Uniarts Fest, our arts festival that presents interesting discussions on societal issues and art created by the university community. The audience can also attend guided tours and visit the BFA exhibition at Kuva/Tila.
The event is open for the public and there is no admission fee.
Afterparty at Tanner at 21:00
The evening continues at the Tanner Restaurant with an open afterparty. The kitchen at Tanner will stay open until 22:00, so nobody needs to leave on an empty stomach. The programme includes music performances by people from the Uniarts Helsinki community.
