The Masters of Arts Festival has taken place four times now. The annually changing event has grown to be a showcase for limitless collaboration. A great number of the freshly graduated Masters’ of Arts diploma works are presented in the exhibition set up in Media Centre Lume. Current and future developments in art, design, film and visual culture are brought to the forefront in many ways, in various events.

The MoA approach is sincere – the University wants to support its graduating students and also give a chance to other students of the University to design and carry out a unique, first-rate and tangible enterprise.

The production of the Festival has its foundation in neighbourly help, good will and seamless co-operation. The event does not strive for monetary gain: its mission is to multilaterally support learning processes and the advancement of Finnish culture as well as buttress the position of design, film and visual culture in society.

The Festival is supported by a large group of companies, institutions and private persons. The University has succeeded in creating an enterprise that professionals from various fields regard as something uniformly positive. The intellectual presence and expert opinions of these people are immeasurably valuable to the Festival.
