It is serene and peaceful in the community of Sointula. The name means "A Place of Harmony" in the Finnish language. For more information see:

However, just below the surface there is a lively talented community of artists, painters, potters, scupltors, wood carvers, knitters, silversmiths, jewelry makers, glass blowers, photographers, graphic artists and a variety of craftspeople. In the performing arts there are musicians, singers, belly dancers, tap dancers and even a juggler. All of this culminated in the wonderful event called "Artopia". For three days we enjoyed the festivities delighting in the warmth and hospitality of the people of Sointula. It was a truely memorable experience.
