The annual Mimmit peinttaa street art event was held in the summer of 2025 for the tenth time. Mimmit peinttaa 2025 Hiedanranta was the 10th anniversary edition of the Mimmit peinttaa street art concept, featuring both Finnish and international artists.
Since 2015, the event has primarily taken place in Helsinki, with previous editions also held in Kotka and Savonlinna. The event is organized by the Helsinki-based urban culture association Mimmit ry, and this year’s main partner was Hiedanrannan Kehitys Oy, the owner of the former factory area and the organization responsible for developing and building the Hiedanranta district into a new neighborhood for around 20,000 residents.
The street art event brought new life to the Hiedanranta area through striking murals, enriching both local and international cultural offerings. The event supports the Hiedanranta art program, which aims to create both temporary and permanent artworks that delight, strengthen the identity of the new neighborhood, and foster meaningful public encounters.
The event also represents interdisciplinary collaboration between professionals from various fields, aiming to produce alternative cultural content through side events.
