In this workshop, we will create our own watercolour painting of mountain landscapes. Rough peaks, tranquil valleys and natural light invite you to capture this beautiful landscape
with quick sketches. The best part: watercolours, a brush and a sketchbook fit in any backpack! We will practice the best techniques so that you will be able to document your next hiking trip with expressive, personal artworks.
Be inspired by nature, the colours and the time spent together.

The language of the workshop is English.

This workshop is aimed at students and recent graduates working across disciplines—for example, between choreography and dance, visual arts, performance, applied arts, or music. The goal is to provide tools for artists to contextualize and position themselves within the larger field of contemporary art.
During the workshop, we will begin by exploring the key elements and various uses of a written artist statement and a visual portfolio. We will examine case studies and collaborate on refining participants’ own artist statements and portfolios.

Participants are expected to have an existing artist statement and a visual portfolio (such as a website) that they would like to develop further. You can bring your own laptop.


The workshop is led by Riikka Thitz, a Helsinki-based curator working at the intersection of performing and visual arts. Her practice investigates how performance and exhibition formats shape the forms, temporalities, and spaces in which art is presented. She is particularly interested in the frictions and dialogues that emerge when different artforms meet—architecturally, conceptually, and experientially. Grounded in site-responsive approaches, Riikka’s work emphasizes bodily experience, multisensory engagement, and the materiality of art. She incorporates dramaturgy as a tool to navigate and articulate the complex interdependencies between artworks, spaces, and audiences.
Since 2021, Riikka has worked as the part-time curator of the Stage for Contemporary Performance programme in the Helsinki City Theatre. She also co-runs the Helsinki-based multidisciplinary arts association i dolci. Riikka holds an MFA in Exhibition Studies from the Academy of Fine Arts, Helsinki, and an MA in Euroculture from Rijksuniversiteit Groningen and Georg-August-Universität Göttingen. She has previously held roles in production, communications, and programme management, both in freelance contexts and at institutions such as the Moving in November contemporary dance festival and Kiasma Theatre in Helsinki, as well as the Finnish Cultural Institute for the Benelux in Brussels.

In connection with the exhibitions “Women Artists! From Monjé to Münter” at the Kunstpalast Düsseldorf and “Crossing Borders” at the ATENEUM Helsinki, this workshop is organised in cooperation with the Finnland-Institute.

Green hills, yellow wheat fields or red evening light – the soft colours of a landscape often have a calming effect on us. In this workshop we learn how to capture a landscape scene with watercolours. So that during the next trip to the countryside, you will be able to paint the moment.





Discover your creative soul and your love for nature. Be inspired by a photo, the colours, and the time spent together and take your personal artwork home with you!

Which kind of roles do women take on in art? Whether being an artist or a model – we will explore the female positions at the collection. We will not only discover the diversity of artworks but also draw them. Armed with paper and pencils, let’s set off on a tour through the Kunstpalast to look/feel into our own creativity.
Would you like to draw with others? Either beginner or advanced – everyone is welcome to join!

What is art? Where does it begin – with a thought, a brushstroke or an everyday situation? When does something become a work of art – on the museum wall, in the catalogue or in the mind of the viewer? And who decides what art is? What constitutes an artist? These are questions that the artist Hans-Peter Feldmann grappled with. He photographed everyday life, worked with familiar objects, made small picture booklets and collected ordinary objects, which he turned into a shadow play through movement and lighting. This course is all about his works and techniques – let’s get inspired by the artist’s ideas and works, paint, photograph, create sculptures from everyday objects and our own shadow theatre. At the end, we will present our works in a small exhibition. We look forward to seeing you!
