Afterwork Cooperation

Restaurant Paljetti and the Cultural Centre Valve provide the stage for performers, and performers bring their own sound equipment. Valve's lightweight PA system can also be used and, if necessary, supplemented with your own equipment. Please be aware that you should be able to operate the PA system and other devices independently. The events are included in the marketing of Cultural Centre Valve and the restaurant (read more about Valve's marketing and communications).

Performers selected for the Art goes Afterwork clubs will receive a performance fee of 150 euros. The performer must be able to invoice the fee from Valve.
