KOMPAKTI – Performing Short Arts Festival

Two days of diverse short performances in the Finlayson area

Kompakti is a festival for works-in-progress and short multidisciplinary art, spotlighting performing arts and their creative processes. The festival will be held for the first time in the Finlayson area in Tampere on February 27–28, 2026.

No idea is too unfinished – the journey of creating art can be just as interesting as the finished work. The festival offers two days of short performances across various art forms and serves as a meeting place for artists from different fields.

Call for submissions is now open.
