This proposal is about making art more accessible for all. It would be great if more people had the opportunity to try and practice different art forms!

One of the solutions could be creating more spaces for public art in old buildings in different areas of Helsinki. The idea is inspired by the Purkutaide project (http://www.purkutaide.com/). These public art houses would be open for all residents (kids and adults, young artists, art students, hobby groups etc.) and would provide areas and items for art creation (walls and surfaces for painting, recycled materials, tools etc.).
Additionally, there could be ​specially organized spaces for graffiti where kids and adults would be able to learn and improve their skills. P​eople could offer to share their art skills with other residents: these 'art hours' could be booked through the centralized booking system e.g. on hel.fi website. Professional artists are also welcome to use the spaces and to teach others.

Budgeting: together with City experts
-to determine old buildings/premises that could be used for this purpose (these premises will then need to be cleared out and prepared to be used by residents)
