University of the Arts Student Union
The University of the Arts Student Union (ArtSU) is the community and interest and service organisation for students at Uniarts Helsinki.
About us
All bachelor’s and master’s degree students at Uniarts Helsinki are automatically its members. Doctoral students and exchange students are also welcome to join the student union, and the total number of members in ArtSU is about 1,700.
ArtSU an own organization, public body, independent from the university (of coure we´re doing lots of cooperation) but all the things in student union are decided by the students (the representative council, which uses the highest decision-making power, is elected next time in November). In addition to that the student union has a few employees. Every student has to pay a membership fee for the student union and these are used to finance the activities of ArtSU.
The Space for Free Arts is an arena administered by University of the Arts Student Union where all students of Uniarts Helsinki are welcome to showcase their performances, exhibitions and other events. The space is located in Sörnäinen at the Katri Vala park public shelter (entrance across the street from Vilhonvuorenkuja 16).
