Taidenarikka is a participatory public art project at the new Valkeavuori Campus in Kaarina. As the 2025–2026 Campus Artist, Elli Maanpää invited the community to bring in everyday objects to be "checked in" and transformed into unique pieces of art using acrylic paints and her signature vibrant style.
The project celebrates community and upcycling, turning personal belongings into a collective story within the newly build campus. This project was realized through the 1% for Art (prosenttiperiaate) initiative.
