Helsinki Hall

Book dinner at the Bistro


Helsinki Hall

Saturday 26.9.2026, klo 13.00–14.30

What shapes an artist’s distinctive style, and what took Soile Yli-Mäyry from the small village of Mäyry in Kuortane to galleries around the world? When Jari Tervo and Yli-Mäyry meet, the conversation will explore life, art and what it means to be an artist.

Expect a lively exchange between two quick-witted conversationalists. The audience will also have the opportunity to ask Yli-Mäyry questions of their own.

Visitors can also explore Yli-Mäyry’s exhibition of paintings and glass sculptures at Finlandia Hall’s Showroom, on display until the end of October. The exhibition is open from Tuesday to Saturday, 11:00–18:00.

Admission to both the interview in Helsinki Hall and the exhibition in the Showroom is free. Welcome!

Huolehdimme tavaroistasi, jotta sinä voit keskittyä elämykseen. Konserttien ja tapahtumien ajaksi voit jättää takkisi maksulliseen narikkaan. Finlandia-näyttelyyn tullessasi säilyttää laukkusi lukollisessa lokerossa. Lokerosäilytys on maksuton. Naulakkopalvelu 4€ ja saatavilla mm. konserteissa, mutta ei päivittäin. Bistron asiakkaita suosittelemme jättämään ulkotakit 1.krs naulakkoon ennen illallista.
