Kristinestad Artists' Residency

Kristinestad Artists' Residency

Description

The Kristinestad Residency is a joint project between the local art and craft associations Yelema, Spectra and Hemslöjdsgården and the municipality. The emphasis is on cultural immersion and interaction with the local community. The residency is rooted in the local community, and the natural and cultural environment including craft traditions that can serve as sources of inspiration for work. Reflection on issues and practices that are central to the local and Finnish context is encouraged. Both retreat-like contemplation and concentration and community-centered projects are feasible. The organisers will facilitate collaboration with local schools and associations.

Outcome

Exhibitions, performances or workshops welcome but not compulsory.
