Artists in residency - Finland
Deadline: 9 January 2020


Arteles Creative Center in Hämeenkyrö, Finland hosts more than 150 selected international artists and creative professionals per year. It is the lively headquarters for our residency programs, welcoming artists and creative minds from all around the world, from all the defined and undefined forms of creativity.

Back to Basics residency program gives artists the opportunity to clear their mind, get back to focus and (re)discover the very basis of their being. Take a break from your smartphone, reconnect with your creativity, be part of nature and learn to stay present again, doing only things you really want to be doing.

Residency program for artists and creative professionals of all disciplines at Arteles Creative Center in Hämeenkyrö, Finland. 
1 month periods in July / August / September 2020


In order to maintain a focused environment, there is no wifi in this program (excluding the first 1-2 days of settling in). Internet is available one day per week, when it can be accessed with a USB connection. Residents can use their own or the house laptop. Note: In case of an important appointment/commitment that cannot be rescheduled, temporary access can be arranged by consulting the staff in advance.
