The arts route is a tourist route located in the municipalities of Kauhajoki and Karvia. The length of the route from Kammi village to Skantzi Cultural Center is about 37 kilometers. The route can be reversed or you can visit individual destinations. For a cyclist, there is an optional route back to the start along the Kyrönkangas Museum Road, which runs through the Kauhaneva-Pohjankangas National Park. 

There are five magnificent sites along the route: Kammikylä  and Alpon Savanni, Anne's Art Café, Karvia Church and open-air museum area, and Skantzi Cultural Center.
