About the residency

StartArt Residency is an independent, non-profit artist residency program situated in a rural setting in Finland. Founded with the aim of providing artists with dedicated time and space for focused work, the residency hosts a small number of artists each season, fostering a quiet, communal atmosphere. Its core mission is to support the development of new work by offering uninterrupted studio time, comfortable living quarters, and the critical distance often necessary for creative breakthroughs. The program is deliberately low-key, prioritizing process over presentation and encouraging residents to engage with the surrounding landscape as both a retreat and a source of inspiration.

Planning your application

Artists interested in StartArt Residency should approach the application as a proposal for a period of self-directed research and production. The selection committee values clarity of intent and feasibility of the project within the residency's resources. It is advisable to articulate how the specific environment—rural, quiet, and removed from urban art centers—will contribute to your practice. Applications are typically open twice a year for spring and autumn sessions; check the website for exact deadlines. Include a concise project description, work samples, and a realistic plan for your time. Given the limited number of spots, early preparation and adherence to guidelines are essential. The residency does not provide production budgets or materials, so artists should plan accordingly.
