Throughout history, Hyvinkää has shone as the home of many respected artists, such as Helene Schjerfbeck, Tyko Sallinen and Yrjö Saarinen. Finland’s first art park focusing on ITE art was opened in Hyvinkää in the summer of 2024. The Middle of Nowhere art park will present a wide range of ITE art (Finnish visual contemporary folk art) with the aim of increasing awareness of ITE artists and art.

ITE art, i.e. art made by self-taught artists, is known for its originality and inventiveness. The Middle of Nowhere art park and summer cafe offer a unique experience combining ITE art and nature.
