The summer 2025 exhibition of Mänttä Art Festival will be observed through the word “no”. Subjects such as locality, childhood and parenthood, the human environment, traditions, and the mind and body are examined through the NO lens. The XXIX Mänttä Art Festival will also look at art curation from different perspectives.

Krister Gråhn has invited a group of co-curators, experts in different roles in the art world, to participate. They will bring an unprecedentedly wide range of artists and themes into the programme.
