About the residency
ÖRES (Örön Residenssikeskus ry) is an artist residency center located on the island of Örö in the Finnish archipelago. Founded in 2016, it operates within a former military fortress, repurposed to foster contemporary artistic practice. The residency's ethos is rooted in site-specificity, environmental awareness, and the interplay between isolation and community. It provides artists with time and space to develop work in a unique, historically layered landscape. The program is open to artists across disciplines, with a focus on those whose practices engage with context, nature, and critical spatial thinking.

Applicants should demonstrate a clear interest in engaging with Örö's specific environment and history. Proposals that articulate how the residency would contribute to the development of their practice are favored. The selection process is competitive; early preparation and a well-defined project outline are advised. Note that the sample call 'ESTUDIO CHAPULÍN| FALL 2026-OPENCALL | MÉXICO CITY' appears unrelated to ÖRES, so verify current opportunities directly via their website.
