ANTI Festival

Prize-winning international art experiences

The ANTI - Contemporary Art Festival brings together inspirational live art experiences that explore boundaries, and the festival provides a unique opportunity for artists and the public to meet. Each year, lovers of live art come together in Kuopio to experience art’s ability to transform everyday spaces. Saastamoinen Foundation supports the ongoing vitality and appeal of live art through the ANTI Festival International Prize for Live Art, which it set up in partnership with the festival.
