Experiences and encounters in the artists' house

​
Established in 2022 in the idyllic wooden quarter of old Varkaus, the Artists' House Taideniitty is an experiential meeting place for artists and visitors. The more than 100-year-old "Niittylä II", a former workers' house, has evolved into a small artists' house and cultural centre. We organise art exhibitions, courses and cultural events.
We also have delightful and personal accommodation; residences Sun, Niitty. and Wind and from autumn to spring Taika. There is a courtyard sauna with a gentle fireplace for guests to use.
"For the 'all-inclusive' experience traveller, the place offers genuine small-town charm.
Taideniity is home to the waffle café Fifty-Fifty, which will open in spring and serve its famous waffles. You can enjoy your baked treats in the beautifully decorated café or in the cosy garden of the courtyard. For children in summer, the courtyard is home to the Old Varkaus Prank House, an obstacle course and a variety of yard games.
The 750 m2 building houses the Gallery Taideniitty with its changing exhibitions, 3 artists' studios, artists' homes and a communal studio with, among other things, a printmaking press, equipment and easels.
A warm welcome to Old Varkaus!
