Kuusamo Arctic Residence Centre is in north-eastern Finland, where the summers are internse and the winters are snowy. Surrounded by five national parks, the natural surroundings offer unique working conditions throughout the year.
We welcome professionals in various artistic disciplines, as well as researchers, writers and nature photographers, to apply for our residency program. Individuals, work pairs, and groups can submit their applications through our open calls. The centre can also invite residency artists and researchers separately, and these invitational visits cannot be applied.
Individual Residencies
Merited and up-and-coming artists, researchers, writers and nature photographers from all parts of the world are welcome to apply. Besides looking at the merits and work plans, the selections are targeted towards projects with connections to nature and novel approaches to each theme.
Group Residencies
The contact person for the work group submits the application and attaches the CVs of the other members, in addition to the work plan. We encourage multi-artistic projects and initiatives that combine arts and science.
