  Art Centre – Art, Community & Creative Living in Finland
  
  Our art centre and residency, located in Joutsa, Finland, is an inspiring and relaxed international art hub. We are a warm, communal place where art — in all of its forms — is the driving force of everyday life.
  
  This is not just a workplace; it is a living, breathing, creative environment. Here you will find artists, musicians, thinkers, and builders sharing space, ideas, and meals.
  
  🎨 What happens here?
  
  During the summer, our art exhibitions, music concerts, workshops, and performances attract visitors from Finland and abroad. The atmosphere is vibrant, experimental, and welcoming.
  
  In the winter, the pace slows down. We host intimate art exhibitions, cozy music evenings, and focus strongly on our international residency program, welcoming artists and art students from all disciplines.
  
  ⏰ Work Exchange
  
  5 hours per day / 5 days per week
  
  Work schedules are agreed upon. We expect reliability, independence, and commitment during agreed working hours.
