Deadline: 24th of April 2019

Residency program for writers, researchers & text-based artists
at Arteles Creative Center in Hämeenkyrö, Finland
1 month periods in October & November 2019


Enter Text is an international residency program for writers, researchers and artists working with text. The program brings together a diverse group of writers & artists from various backgrounds, with different ways of applying text & language in their work.


Novels & short stories, research & non-fiction, poetry & spoken word, comic art & graphic novels, playwriting & screenwriting, text art & calligraphy, typography & asemic writing…


At Arteles, artists are given the freedom to create and deepen their focus in a stress-free environment. Share ideas and approaches, form collaborations and gain fresh perspective to your usual practice, without the pressure of producing a finalized body of work.

As well as for connecting and experimenting with other writers & artists, the residency can be used for concentrating intensively on your ongoing work/research, starting a brand new project, or stopping to contemplate your practice and being. Participation in group activities is voluntary, allowing you to barricade into your writer's chamber anytime you want.
