The Arctic Residence Centre at Kuusamo College offers professional artists, researchers, and nature photographers the possibility to work in a versatile environment in the northern nature city of Kuusamo.

Kuusamo College was founded in 1909, offering educational and accommodation services all year round for all age groups.

We can accommodate around a hundred people. Our residency guests are accommodated in single rooms with common kitchens and lounges. The monthly rent is 500 euros/month per person. Cleaning every two weeks, internet, and the use of workspaces as stated in the work plan are included.

The work plan must clearly state the need for workspaces, as the spaces are mainly used for the college's training and course activities, and thus the possibility of using the workspaces is limited.

Possibility also for short retreats and holding exhibitions in the offices of our partners. Please mention in your work plan if you intend to hold an exhibition during the residency.

Materials and personal expenses are not included. The college has its own canteen, offering meals on weekdays, and our residency guests can purchase inexpensive lunch coupons.

After completing the residency period we wish that the residency guests would present the projects they have working on.
