    Kuusamo Residence Centre ARK

    Kuusamo ARK – Arctic Residence Kuusamo – is an arctic residence center located in 1909 founded by Kuusamo College. The Kuusamo residence centre ARK is located in the premises of Kuusamo College in central Kuusamo. The campus area offers workspaces to various creative artists, nature photographers as well as researchers.

    The spaces and equipment are versatile, enabling professional artistic work in wood sculpture, theatre, music, video art and photography.

    The residency guests are lodged in the old headmaster’s quarters, in Arvola. Shared spaces include the kitchen, the sauna and also the possibility to use a wilderness cabin.

    Kuusamo is the nature capital of Finland, surrounded by four national parks and one of the main objectives of ARK, as a part of the Kripa-project, is to cooperate with the local nature and tourism services.
