The private ARTBREAK artist residency offers international art professionals the Basecamp residency program. In the program, you can research and familiarize yourself with northern nature, history and culture for 1-2 months and network with art professionals in northern Finland. During the residency, there is also the opportunity to go on a guided nature trip and learn about northern environmental issues and livelihoods that depend on nature.
