Description
Our art centre and residency, located in Joutsa, Finland, is an inspiring and relaxed international art hub. We are a great, communal place where art, in all of its forms, is the driving force.
During the summer, art exhibitions, music concerts, workshops, performances attract visitors from both Finland and abroad.
In the winter, you can enjoy cozy music evenings and intimate art exhibitions. Additionally, the residency program is a key focus during this season, offering a unique opportunity for artists and arts students from all disciplines.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are a creative community with international & local people, artists and cultural workers. As we also run an artist residency in the premises here is usually many interesting people working on their projects. Sauna is heated twice a week for the community.
We are having a cat and a dog living in the house.
Help
We are looking for help with snow shoveling in the mornings, restoring and maintaining the sculptures of the art collection with the help of the landlord, gardening in the spring time together with the garden team and installing artworks outdoors. There is always need for a DIY type of people for different kind of works around the house and garden.
