The Artist in Residency Program Malakta AiR is accepting proposals for 1-3 month residencies from Visual Artists, Dancers, Writers, Filmmakers and Photographers. We welcome all the artistic and creative fields as a part of our community and there is also a possibility to apply for a longer stay and as a family or an artistic group.

Malakta’s creative residency program, the AiR with an annual theme will be focused on exploring community art. Part of the residency program there is a personal mentorship included that is given by the local artists to support the residents personal creative process and work as a part of the community at Malakta. Residents are expected to participate in exploring or creating community art in some capacity during their stay as a part of the local community. This can be done in a creative way, by offering an artist talk, creating an event hosted by the artist, online or by site, social media updates, artworks, show, video, sound or a workshop. A variation of different events and some creative intensive courses are a part of our living community too.

Malakta AiR offers three fully furnished apartments, all located as a part of a former dairy where the grounds and traditional wooden buildings hold a creative art center with studios, a mini-cinema, darkroom, sound studio, sauna and a variation of different shared creative spaces to use. One apartment is located as a part of the art center, with two bedrooms and a private kitchen, bathroom and access to extensive facilities in a converted historic building. One apartment is located next to the HealIn where you can find a peaceful space for yoga, meditation or dance. In this apartment there are two private bedrooms, a shared kitchen and bathroom and access to the yoga studio. We also have a family friendly apartment that is suitable for private living during your stay at the residency.
