Apply to Join the Valve2026 Culture Fridays Program

Valve2026 Culture Fridays offers an inspiring meeting place for culture and communities. The event gives you the chance to showcase your own program or performances and gain stage experience in a relaxed atmosphere. The Valveen Paljetti stage has previously hosted a wide variety of artistic performances and events by both seasoned and emerging creators. Many of these occasions also coincide with ongoing festivals at Valve.

A Self-Directed Stage for Communities and Creators

Valve2026 Culture Fridays events are organized on a self-directed basis. Cultural Centre Valve and Restaurant Paljetti provide the stage and basic sound system, while performers handle the practical arrangements of the event. A fee of €150 will be paid for completed performances upon invoicing.

If you’re looking for a venue for your event or performance, apply by filling out the application form and tell us about your program and preferred dates! Performances take place on Fridays between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM timeslot.

Apply by Sunday the 14th of December 2025. If spaces remain, the application will reopen later.
