Artist Residencies in Örö with Stipend

ÖRES

Örö, Finland

ÖRES is an artist-run residency program located on the island of Örö, a former military fortress in the Finnish Archipelago National Park. The residency offers a unique opportunity for artists and researchers to work in a pristine natural environment, focusing on experimental fields of art, art-science collaborations, and interdisciplinary projects. The program is ideal for those interested in the intersection of nature, history, and contemporary art practices. With its retreat-like atmosphere, especially during the quiet winter months, the residency is self-service, requiring a do-it-yourself attitude. The facilities include two apartments that serve as combined living and working spaces, suitable for individual artists, small groups, or families. The residency is free of charge, though participants must cover their travel, materials, and living expenses.
