FISKARS ARTIST RESIDENCY

Call for artists
http://www.onoma.org/en/residency

Fiskars village is situated approximately 90 km west of Helsinki, in the
municipality of Pohja/Pojo. The Artisans, Designers and Artists
Cooperative of Fiskars has been active from 1996, and today the community
has 104 members, representing over 20 different arts, design and crafts
professions. The Fiskars Artist Residency was founded in early 2006.
Professional overseas (i.e. non Finnish-resident) craftspeople, designers
and artists may apply for the residency. Cultural journalists, writers and
scientists may also be considered.
Fiskars Company has renovated the Fiskars Artist Residency house, which
has two apartments (one for each artist):
• The smaller studio houses 1-2 persons and has a large, fully equipped
kitchen, bathroom and living room with sleeping alcove.
• The larger apartment, with accomodation for 1-4 persons, has a large
fully equipped kitchen, living room, bathroom, workroom and bedroom.

Neither pets nor smoking are permitted inside the building. For
large-scale work there is a suitable space with running water in the
basement. Whilst no equipment or tools are supplied at the house, other
spaces and/or equipment may be rented in Fiskars. Please note, however,
that the cost of these facilities must be paid by the resident artist and
all contacts/agreements are made by the artist her/himself. Whilst no
computer or television is available, a mobile phone and a cordless
broadband internet connection is provided at the house. Outgoing phone
calls are payed by the artist. Resident artists do not pay for the
apartment in Fiskars, but must finance their own travel to/from the
village. The resident will also provide her/his own food and other daily
requirements, including working material. Fiskars AIR do NOT offer any
funding for travel, material or living expenses. Resident artists will be
required to pay a 100 € cash deposit upon arrival, returnable on the day
of departure following a final check of the apartment (all items should be
intact and the apartment cleaned).

The Fiskars Artist Residency is available year-round with the following
residency periods:
• 1. January - 31. March
• 1. April - 31. May
• 1. June - 31. July
• 1. August - 30. September
• 1. October - 31. December

It is our wish that the resident artist presents him/herself in some way
to the members of our co-operative during his/her stay, in the interests
of forging contacts and to give our guest the opportunity to learn how we
operate. If the resident artist is interested, his/her visit may be
connected to some of the co-operative’s activities, i.e. collaboration
with co-operative members, participation in the co-operative’s
exhibitions, or other projects. We would also welcome lectures and/or
workshops given by the resident artist.
