DL: 06.08.2026

Siina Siuvo
Tampere Architecture and Design Week is looking for partners, programme organisers and exhibition creators to help shape the festival programme. The event week will take place in Tampere from 25 September to 4 October 2026. This year’s theme is Smart – and, at the same time, Absurd.
The event or exhibition may relate to areas such as urban culture, design, architecture, fashion, graphic design, photography, or other creative fields. The festival’s main events and curated exhibitions will be located in the Finlayson area, but TAD Week events and exhibitions can be organised throughout the city of Tampere.
Event facilities in the Finlayson area can be inquired by e-mail: tuotanto@tadweek.com.
The open call is available until 6 August 2026. However, the Finlayson area's exhibition locations will be distributed by the end of June to ensure participants have sufficient time to plan their exhibitions. Therefore, it is advisable to submit the application as soon as possible.
TAD Week offers its participants visibility through social media, the TAD Week website, and the festival programme leaflet as well as additional marketing support if needed.
