Harjun Mori

Our dream behind Harjun Mori is that creative entrepreneurship in Finland would be profitable and that performing artists would be paid fairly.

• For the creative industry, the biggest challenge is often sales – finding and reaching customers. Harjun Mori responds to this by offering a curated Market platform where small businesses can test and sell their products and services with little risk, directly to the right audience.

• For performing artists, on the other hand, there are often too few opportunities to perform, and attracting new names can be a risk for the event organizer. Harjun Mori offers a solution to this: an interesting event space where artists can perform and earn fair compensation for their work. The revenue from the events is shared with the performers not only from ticket sales but also from sales from the market and café & wine bar during the event. This way, we build a model where risk and opportunities are shared more fairly.

Harjun Mori is a platform where creative work can grow – together with the audience.

How did the idea for Harjun Mori come about?

Our dream came up again and again in our conversations and our dreams for the future. We knew what we wanted to build – but the biggest challenge was finding the right place for it.

The space had to be located where people already move. It had to be big and interesting enough to attract them. A place that had its own character – something that cannot be built from scratch.

On a holiday in Europe, the dream took on new dimensions and on a train journey from Vienna to Ljubljana, we decided to start looking for premises seriously. We browsed through advertisements and brainstormed what kind of space would be right.

Then we came across the rental advertisement for the old morgue and youth center in Harju.

It was immediately clear that there was something special here – a perfect match. After that, things moved quickly. In early May – four weeks after the train journey, the lease was signed, and the opening was planned for early summer.

The journey to building the space has been a shared one. The concept and design were not created alone, but together with the community. We have recruited an incredible number of talented, enthusiastic and courageous people. We are incredibly grateful for all of these opportunities. 

And now Harjun Mori's summer 2026 begins.

See you at Mori,
