Kalle and Olavi Penttilä Grant 2023

I’m honoured to share to be a recipient of the Kalle and Olavi Penttilä Grant of 2023. This generous support will help me continue developing my skills and pursuing my creative and professional goals.

This grant was awarded by the Penttilä Fund (Penttilän opintorahasto), established through the will of Olavi Penttilä, dated 9 May 1978. The fund supports young people from the city of Riihimäki, Finland in developing their skills, particularly in the performing arts and music, as well as those preparing for a profession or pursuing further education.

Grants are awarded annually, based on grant applications submitted by eligible candidates. Receiving this grant is a tremendous honour, and I’m deeply grateful to the Penttilä Fund for their support. It will allow me to continue exploring my artistic practice, building my skills, and contributing to the creative community.

Thank you and Merry Christmas,

Alli
