VIRTUAL ART HOUSE (VAH)

Virtual Art House (VAH) is a multi-user socialVR platform and digital twin of Art House Turku, developed with Proverse. It hosts exhibitions, events and collaborative world-building through WebVR and Meta Quest. Its international CULTURHUB community connects cultural professionals and supports co-creation and virtual residencies. The Extra Live programme grew from these residencies in 2025 and continued with Part 2 in 2026.
