UA CAMPFIRE – community gathering II

Join for light yet meaningful moments of togetherness!

19 December 2025

WHAT

Friends, we are living through hard times. Many feel lonely, tired and exhausted.

From this need emerges UrbanApa’s new concept UA Campfire – community gathering, aimed specifically for artists, makers and creatives of all kinds.

UA Campfire aims to create a space to encounter, to dream and scheme, and to come together. In times when apathy easily creeps under the skin, we want to offer an antidote: a reminder of why we do what we do.

Our aim is to create light yet meaningful moments of togetherness for participants (and for us organizers too!) – encounters that nourish the inner flame and give strength to continue.

The event is facilitated by Pie Kär and Sophia Wekesa.

ACCESSIBILITY

The accessible entrance of Tekstin talo is located at Lintulahdenkatu 3. The other entrance is located at the Kaikukatu courtyard. The entrance to Kaikukatu is not accessible due to steps leading to in from all directions.

Tekstin talo does not have customer parking. There are many parking spaces nearby. There are parking spaces in front of the accessible entrance, so it may be difficult for taxi to get right in front of the entrance.

The entrance door (width 1 m) has an electric opening mechanism that works with a button.

When entering the lobby, there is a floor sign board directly in front of the door. The stairwell and elevator lobby are located behind the door on the left side of the lobby. The width of the door is 87 cm (can be opened to 110cm) and the height of the threshold is 2 cm. The door has an electronic opening mechanism that works with a button.

On the 1st floor, access to the premises of Tekstin talo is through a heavy door (87cm, can be opened to 110cm). The treshold height is 2. A ramp (lenght 40cm, height 4cm) leads to the door. The door does not have an electronic opening mechanism.

The event space Parvisali is located on the 6th floor. The space is accessible via elevator. On the 6th floor there is a tiny slope towards the Parvisali entryway.

 

 

There is no induction loop in Parvisali. There is an accessible toilet on the same floor.

You can check the more detailed accessibility information on Tekstin talo’s website (incl. photos of spaces).
