Villa Arttu is a cultural centre for children and young people. In Villa Arttu, there are three different organizations: Art Centre for Children and Young People, Hyvinkää City Art School for Children and Young People and Helmi School for Crafts and Design. Villa Arttu's friends is a group of adults who intend to find ways in which parents can become involved in the activities run by the cultural centre through collaborative workshops and events

For 'Villa Arttu' the project 'Parental Conversations' offers a perfect demonstration of how creatvity can bring parent and child together. The vitual exhibition will bring further evidence of how rich and diverse such collaborative practice can be.
