Values, vision and mission
Electric Sunsets is born in Kuopio and built together. This page tells what we believe in and where we are heading.
Vision
Electric Sunsets is an internationally known festival where music, light, sport and community meet. A place where partners build experiences, students kick off the academic year and everyone lives through something they will never forget.
- We create an experience that joins daytime sport with evening culture. When the sun sets, a new story begins.
- We build a partnership platform for companies and communities that want to offer unique experiences to their customers and employees.
- We put Kuopio on the European festival map as a city where technology, art and community merge.
- We are the most anticipated event of the students' year and a source of pride: a symbol of how Kuopio welcomes newcomers.
Mission
Together we build a festival that brings people, sound, light and movement together, and gives everyone the chance to feel part of something bigger.
- We support partners and companies in creating meaningful experiences as part of the festival.
- We offer students, athletes and culture makers a platform to grow and network.
- We combine daytime activity and evening visuals into one seamless weekend.
- We create an experience with soul: visually, mentally and as a community.
Values
Collaboration and community
The festival is built together: production teams, partners, students, athletes and the audience are all part of the same experience. Partners get a platform to build relationships, host their own summer and team days, and share experiences with their customers.
Openness and acceptance
Electric Sunsets is for everyone. It celebrates difference and encourages everyone to be themselves, quirks, strengths and all.
Creativity and experience
Sound, light and visuals intertwine into an experience that is art and emotion at the same time. Every moment is designed to move you.
Sustainability and local roots
We act responsibly and build the future with sustainable solutions. The environment, the community and local partners are all part of the whole.
International ambition, pride in our roots
Electric Sunsets is born in Kuopio but beats to the rhythm of the world. The goal is a festival with a soul of its own and a name known internationally.
Equality
Electric Sunsets is committed to promoting equality in electronic music. We create practices that advance equality, make our selection processes more transparent, and actively build a diverse talent pipeline that creates sustainable career paths in electronic music.
