The Kouluniemi Artist Residence is in the former Laitiala Village School on the shore of Lake Puula and is best suited for writers, musicians, researchers and photographers. The residence is available throughout the year. The property includes two spacious classrooms, one of which is a so-called music library. The second classroom has been left empty so that each artist can create an environment to suit his or her wishes and needs. The classroom can be turned into a painter's studio, for example.
