Short Description
In 2025, AARK will celebrate its 10th anniversary as an art residency, welcoming artists from all over the world to live and work on the small island of Korpo in the Finnish archipelago. The AARK (Archipelago Art Residency in Korpo) is located right by the sea in a small apartment building from the sixties. It is close to the ferry that operates between the islands Korpo and Nauvo and is easily accessible by public transport.
We are very excited about this achievement and want to celebrate this milestone as an opportunity to reflect on the journey and showcase the impact it has had on artists and the community.
Eligibility
We are looking for professional contemporary artists/art professionals from all disciplines for whom nature and the surrounding seaside could be an interesting theme to work on. We offer a space to think and time to develop a new idea – or to continue on a work in progress.
