Kettuki Art Centre is Finland’s nationwide art centre for people with learning disabilities. It began its operations in May 2006.
The centre is located close to the central railway station in the city of Hämeenlinna, on the fourth floor of the ARX building at the Verkatehdas Cultural Centre. See Map !
The objective of the Kettuki Art Centre is to raise the esteem of art by people with intellectual disabilities by promoting it at a nationwide level. The centre also aims to improve opportunities for people with disabilities to study and practice art in both professional and recreational contexts.
The centre is managed by the Kettuki support association for disabled artists (Kehitysvammaisten taiteilijoiden tuki ry).
The organization includes artists, art experts and professionals in the field of disabilities as well as other people who are generally interested in art by disabled people.
