The year 2026 marks 80 years since sculptor Eva Ryyn\u00e4nen and her husband Paavo Ryyn\u00e4nen moved to the landscapes of Paavo\u2019s childhood \u2014 and 50 years since the Paateri Artists\u2019 House opened to the public. Over the decades, Paateri has grown into one of Lieksa\u2019s best-known and most beloved tourist destinations, combining art, nature, and a unique life story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The highlight of the anniversary year will be celebrated June 13\u201315, 2026, when Eva and Paavo\u2019s Day will be celebrated throughout the weekend. The program will feature inspiring talks, music, guided tours, and activities for the whole family, including the little ones. The festivities will culminate on June 15, when admission to the artist\u2019s home will be free in honor of Eva Ryyn\u00e4nen\u2019s birthday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paateri is not just an artist\u2019s home, but a complex that includes a studio, a church, and a unique cultural environment that has evolved over the decades. This anniversary year offers a wonderful opportunity to explore this significant site and experience its story in a new way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
