Midnight Sun Residency

Malax, Finland

Escape to the Finnish countryside and experience the Midnight Sun Residency — a space for both rest and creation. Surrounded by nature, close to the river and nearby the sea, the residency offers peaceful accommodation, creative workshops, and traditional sauna experiences under the endless summer light. With sunlight around the clock throughout the summer, this is a place to slow down, explore new ideas, and reconnect with your creative rhythm. There is no pressure or fixed expectations - you are free to engage with the residency at your own pace. As part of the residency, we offer a basecamp, curated creative mentorship to support each participant’s individual process to help you to make the most of your creative time with us! You will stay in our peaceful tower studio overlooking the river and surrounding garden — a quiet space designed for both rest and creativity. The apartment features a cozy loft for sleeping, a fireplace for slow Nordic evenings, and a dedicated working studio where you can focus, reflect, and create under the midnight sun. Large windows fill the space with natural light throughout the day and night, offering a calm and inspiring atmosphere deeply connected to the surrounding landscape.
