Nowadays the Fine Arts Campus is known for its specialised Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degree programme that emphasises contemporary visual arts, including painting, printmaking, sculpture, installation, environmental art, and performance art. The campus is located in Kankaanpää, a small town with a strong focus on arts and culture, which provides students with a unique and peaceful environment for creative exploration.
The degree programme is designed to foster both practical skills and conceptual development in its students, encouraging interdisciplinary approaches and individual artistic growth. It promotes critical thinking and creative problem-solving, preparing students not only for careers as independent artists but also for work in various art-related fields. The curriculum often includes collaborative projects, workshops, and international exchange programs to provide a comprehensive learning experience.
The campus places a strong emphasis on community and public art. There are numerous sculptures and art installations, forming an outdoor sculpture park that attracts visitors and enhances the cultural atmosphere of the area. This public art initiative is also integrated into the learning experience, giving students real-world opportunities to create artworks that interact with public spaces.
The campus also houses an art gallery where students’ temporary exhibitions are held.
Restaurant Paletti is located on the campus.
